Rotan Switch is the first monograph by Lisa McCord, documenting life on her grandparents’ cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta community of Rotan. Collected over the last forty-four years, these images and stories are a reflection on the people and places that have taught her the meaning of the word home. It is also a self-exploration into her inherently complicated role in this community as both the photographer and the granddaughter of the farm owner.

Constructed from McCord's analog photographs, family snapshots and ephemera. Including, monochrome photographs, color polaroids, and recipes.

“There is a symbolic relationship between storytelling and being Southern.” – Aline Smithson
