Summary
'Privileged Mediocrity' by Kris Graves examines systemic unfairness in the United States. Using a mix of conceptual and documentary practices, Graves photographs the subtleties of societal power and its impact on the built environment of America and the construction of public and private space. Graves explores how racism, capitalism, and power have shaped our country--and how that can be seen and experienced, and sometimes changed (or not), in everyday life.
