Pressestimmen
"Haunting black-and-white studies of children, shown here as surprisingly sensual and often distant beings, the magical keepers of some obscure and vaguely frightening secrets."--Karen Lipson, Newsday
"Sally Mann's photography is a clear pane...not intrusion, but revelation. These young women distill something for the eye...something beautiful and sad and moving, something purely female."--Diane Sawyer
"Sally Mann is the real thing. Just look at these photographs! At Twelve is an American classic."--Annie Dillard

Kurzbeschreibung
At Twelve is Sally Mann's revealing, collective portrait of twelve-year-old girls on the verge of adulthood. To be young and female in America is a time of tremendous excitement and social possibilities; it is a trying time as well, caught between childhood and adulthood, when the difference is not entirely understood. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction, "These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose-- what adults make of that pose may be the issue." The consequences of this misunderstanding can be real: destitution, abuse, unwanted pregnancy. Mann does not deny this reality, but records it, both in the faces of her subjects and in written stories that accompany thirteen of the portraits, adding another dimension to our understanding of "childhood."
The young women in Mann's unflinching, large-format photographs, however, are not victims. They return the viewer's gaze with a disturbing equanimity. Poet Jonathan Williams writes, "Sally Mann's girls are the ones who do the hard looking in At Twelve-- be up to it!" Partly this is a result of the remarkable rapport that Mann is able to establish with her subjects.
Herself the mother of three, Mann has lived most of her life in Lexington, Virginia, where all of these pictures were taken. In fact, many of the families of the young women were cared for by her father, who was the town doctor for over forty years. So while At Twelve is an intensely personal vision of what it means, now, to be twelve and female, each of Mann's subjects is allowed the opportunity to frankly return our wondering, reminiscent gaze and to have a history of her own, rooted in a specific place at a particular moment-- at twelve.

I bought this book hoping it was the publication of Immediate Family 2. Unfortunately I was wrong. If you saw the two books without knowing the autor, you would never guess, it was the very same. I have to say, that I am surpriced about the fact, that Sally Mann would make so different books. While Immediate Family has a lot of interesting, obscure pictures, there is nothing of this in At 12. The book is boring and disappointing, and the small number of pages does not explain the high price. Don't waste your time on this publication. You should rather be satisfied with just owning Immediate Family.

I found this book to be a wonderful experience. Sally Mann has shown so many different 12-year-olds in her hometown of Lexington, Va, and she has captured their stories and what makes each girl so unique. I loved this book and found that some of the photographs, especially "Doll House" reminded me of myself "At Twelve".

Sally Mann has captured on film the vunerability of young women who do not yet fully comprehend the world they are born into. She exposes them as they are...immature...yet beginning TO mature. Fearless....yet fearful. The photographs in this book possess a haunting quality which stays with the reader long after the book has been put down.

Disapointing
If you like pictures, buy David Hamilton and Jock Sturges. Forget Sally Mann, don't waist your money like I did.

a major disappointment to most readers.
I purchased this book thinking it would be a photographic journey of a young girl's journey from childhood to young adult. Lesen Sie weiter...

visually captivating - intellectually provacative
an inner glimpse of the realm of femaletwelve year olds, of the 60's - 80's, on the cusp of leaving childhood. especially insightful when re-viewed, after reading the text!

profound, disturbing, beautiful
Sally Mann is one of the most important photographers of the past decade. Her photographs evoke a profound experience of both a personal and a social psychology of the feminine. Lesen Sie weiter...

Empowering and Groundbreaking
Unfortunately, "someguy"--who wrote the previous review--misses the power of this book. Mann has focused on a segment of our society that is often ignored, the 12 year... Lesen Sie weiter...

Lacking Depth
Although I realise that Mlle. Mann is seeking to confine her subject matter as the title suggests, I don't find it broke any ground in the field of photography. Lesen Sie weiter...
