Set in 1950s America, the photographs in "The Coopers" combine the language of fashion photography with the motifs and aesthetics of classic horror films. They concern a seemingly happy (if idealized) family that has a dark side, and their narrative is designed to keep viewers guessing about what is real and what is imaginary. These images suggest that what might seem to be real can often be illusory, existing only within the confines of our own imagination.
