My Father’s Legs Photobook

Croatian-born photographer and architect Sara Perovic’s mother once told her, “I fell in love with your father because of his beautiful legs.” With this small paperback photobook, Perovic has created a tender, humorous study of her boyfriend’s legs, as a stand-in for her father’s, depicting them in color against various backdrops—aboard a boat, indoors, standing on a bed, or on the tennis court—isolated from the rest of his body. A short series of full-figure portraits of her father playing tennis in flipbook style concludes the volume.
