"Deep Springs" is a book by Sam Contis, a female photographer currently living in California, USA. This is one of the books nominated for the 2017 Paris Photo First Photobook Award, and was published by the UK independent publisher MACK. It is based on the liberal arts college "Deep Springs College" founded in 1917 by pioneer in education LL Nunn. The college is small and all men. Through this man's fraternity and identity, and the myths transmitted to the land, Contis gives readers a variety of thoughts and issues, such as the principles of human (relationship) formation, the way communities are formed, and the relationship between the past and present. I will throw it. Contis refuses to simply categorize things and continues to challenge the multi-layered and complex world. While respecting good old things and the times, their stance on "modernity" is wonderful. It is a book that reminds us of the artist's vision and the possibility of artistic expression through photography.
