In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and returning guest, Gillian Laub discuss her brand new book and exhibition, Family Matters, published by Aperture and on view at ICP. Gillian explains why she asked her editor, Lesley Martin, to delay the publication of the book, just how crucial it was to her to get the text right, and her fears about releasing work that was so intensely personal.
