Book description
Seattle 100: Portrait of a City is the culmination of a
two-year personal project by renowned photographer, filmmaker, and
social artist Chase Jarvis. Both a creative project and an
insightful ethnography, Seattle 100 shares—via more
than 300 stunning black-and-white portraits and biographies of each
subject—a curated collection of leading artists, musicians,
writers, scientists, restaurateurs, DJs, developers, activists,
entrepreneurs, filmmakers, and more, all of whom are defining and
driving culture in Seattle. Some faces you will know, other names
you may have heard in passing, and others will have been unknown to
you until now.
With this book, Jarvis has created a snapshot of a city’s
culture through its people. And it’s inclusive. Descriptive
rather than prescriptive. It’s a 100, not an exclusive
the 100, and it invites each of us to survey our own
surroundings, our lives, our friends—and those not yet our
friends—that make up the place we live, whether that’s
Seattle or anywhere else. Individually, the images and words here
introduce you to 100 engaging and important people. Collectively,
this portrait of a city tells a fascinating, interwoven story about
a unique and vibrant place.
Beyond the photos and commentary by Jarvis, there are pithy musings
by a select handful of subjects on the topics of art, food,
community, region, culture, and film. In addition, many of the
subjects share their favorite things, places, and doings in and
around the Seattle that they have explored, discovered, and
rediscovered time and again.
Chase Jarvis is donating 100% of his artist proceeds from this
book to the amazing arts and culture organization www.4culture.org.
