“Southern Fiction,” a new series by the photographer Tema Stauffer, explores the tension between how the American South looks in the mind and how it looks in the world.
It is this kind of heftier noun which Tema Stauffer takes for her subject in “Southern Fiction,” a visual survey of the settings that shaped the imaginations of some of the last century’s most significant Southern writers. Stauffer’s pictures are not illustrations of particular literary works or portraits of individual writers but, rather, invocations of people and places, both real and imagined.
Even so, titles cannot say everything there is to be said about any of these places. Two other bedrooms in the series demonstrate this point profoundly: “Civil Rights Activist Medgar Evers’s Bedroom, Jackson, Mississippi” and “Eudora Welty’s Bedroom, Jackson, Mississippi.” Welty lived in hers for nearly eighty years, whereas Evers was only thirty-seven when he was shot dead outside his by a white supremacist.
