Breaking down the structure of the photograph as truth and the book as narrative, Joshua Lutz's second monograph, HESITATING BEAUTY, it is an intimate portrait unlike other photographic models. Rethinking how photographs and text can function, Lutz blends family archives, interviews and letters with his own photographic practice seamlessly into a precious, fictitious experience of a life and family consumed by mental illness. Instead of showing us what it looks like, HESITATING BEAUTY is able to play with our own conceptions of reality to show us what it feels like.
Joshua Lutz: 'Holding on so tightly to what I believed was sanity and being consumed by fear of depression and schizophrenia prevented me from being fully present to my mother's reality. The past few years, as she slipped away from the aggressive paranoia and depression of my youth to an almost calming sense of delusion, made it much easier for me to rid the anger that veiled my life and attempt to find a place of empathy and compassion as I managed her care. In making this work and simultaneously falling deeper into her psychosis, I tried to imagine a time when the past, present, and future collided; a place where the weight of memory is heavier than reality.'

Joshua Lutz的第二本摄影书。卢茨的母亲患有精神病，卢茨的拍摄隐忍、含蓄、具有一种独特而难以描述的美，她“坚信自己的理智清醒，同时又对母亲的病症充满恐惧”，“我试着想象一个时间，在那里，过去、现在和将来相互碰撞；我还试着想象一个地点，在那里，回忆比现实沉重。”
