For six months this year, Taryn Simon followed the political vapor trail to document the people, spaces and objects central to the 2024 presidential campaigns. Ms. Simon, who works at a distance from the daily news cycle, examines our distracted national gaze and desires, letting us pause and look at what we all experienced. “You can’t see anything reflected in boiling water. But when it’s still, water is a mirror,” she said. “It’s still in the anticipation, and it’s still in the aftermath. But we’re told to watch when it’s boiling.”

Simon’s new series explores the relationships between chance, blood and fate and records the effects of a combination of factors—territory, governance, power, and religion with psychological and physical inheritance.

Occupying five rooms and crafted into a 773-page book that should come with its own lectern; the work is a systematic record of 18 bloodlines or Chapters and their related stories. As with An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar (2007), Simon has unearthed an arbitrary selection of curious or nightmarish scenarios and invites us to analyse each as meticulously as she has brought them to our attention.
