Burden of Time Photographs from the Highlands of Chiapas

"As a phorographer, I view Jacobson's work as a remarkably comprehensive unveiling of a culture that is largely hidden from view. It is astute work, the product of years of intelligent concentration. Her photographs accomplish something quite rare - she reveals significant detail in a way that is unstylized, unselfconscious, and unspectacular. By this, i mean that she relies on her subjects to depict themselves, rather than attempting to place them in some sort of artistic context. She subtly blends anthropology and art."Joel Leivick, Stanford University "As an anthropologist, I think tha tJacobson's photography complements and in some ways corrects the standard visions of the highlands of Chiapas. exploring the connections of indigenous and non-indigenous cultures even as she documents their contrasts, Jacobson reveals the interpenetration of these worlds that has eluded social science analysisThe collection is coherent, of outstanding artistic value, and of both ethnographic and historic importance."George A.
