Nearly a decade in the making, \u003ci\u003eFather Country I Do Love You\u003c\/i\u003e traces the life of an unnamed federal agent through 42 chapters, bringing together hundreds of photographs, text, video, and sculpture. In this labyrinth of stories, Simon uncovers the ripple effects of her protagonist’s actions and inactions, intertwining accounts of victims, predators, survivors, and the mechanics of justice. This narrative is shadowed by the life of Simon’s father, who lived in Thailand and traveled to Russia, Iran, Israel, China, Afghanistan, Korea, and elsewhere while working for the U.S. government before ending his career manufacturing and selling arcade games. Simon never got his full story, but America, he always said, was the best story on earth, if you could find someone to tell it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTaryn Simon\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1975, New York) is widely recognized as one of the most significant conceptual artists working with photography today. Her projects using photography, text, video, sculpture, and performance center on storytelling, redirecting our attention to the unseen. Simon’s exhibitions and artist’s books include \u003ci\u003eThe Innocents\u003c\/i\u003e (2000–03), which traces the stories of individuals imprisoned for crimes they did not commit, questioning photography’s function as a credible eyewitness; \u003ci\u003eAn American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), which examines the divide between public and expert access through hidden and unknown objects and sites in the United States; \u003ci\u003eA Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters\u003c\/i\u003e (2008–11), for which Simon traveled the world tracing bloodlines and their related stories; \u003ci\u003ePaperwork and the Will of Capital\u003c\/i\u003e (2015), which recreates flower arrangements that stood between men signing international treaties; and \u003ci\u003eAn Occupation of Loss\u003c\/i\u003e (2016), in which professional mourners enact rituals of grief, simultaneously broadcasting their lamentations from within a sculptural installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eBy Taryn Simon.
