Featuring a luxurious cloth cover and texts by Rachel Cusk and Miranda July, MOM is Charlie Engman's homage to his mother's many selves

Brooklyn-based photographer Charlie Engman (born 1987) has been shooting portraits of his mother Kathleen McCain Engman since 2009. Collected into a single monograph for the first time, Engman's striking series portrays the artist's mother in a variety of surreal scenes, sometimes nude and at other times dressed in a furry red jumpsuit, in the photographer's studio or in a field on the side of a road.

Engman's work depicts an intense collaboration between photographer and subject that challenges the conventions of portraiture. In addition to Engman's photography, this publication also includes an essay by novelist Rachel Cusk and a conversation between Kathleen McCain Engman and writer-filmmaker-artist Miranda July, who writes: I look at Charlie and Kathleen and realize I could dream a little bigger. A little weirder. But how does one raise a child so confident that he can create a world of groundbreaking possibility with his own mother
