Finding Truth And Fiction On Film Sets In The South
n 2007, Harris was invited to the set of Steven Soderbergh's bio-pic "Che," shot in Mexico, where he first became interested in the sometimes strange relationship between set and setting. Later, he decided to shoot on the sets of independent films made in the American South. In the resulting images, we sometimes see the equipment and people involved in "offscreen" filming in the foreground — a camera's viewfinder, a bright set light, a key grip or gaffer — and the film's action behind it.
