Harris became interested in exploring crowds, masculinity and power during a fellowship in 2001 at the American Academy in Rome. Inspired by a Herald Tribune cover story on racism in Italian soccer as well as Elias Canetti’s book Crowds and Power, Harris produced a photographic essay on the world of Italian soccer (several images of which were published in The New York Times Magazine), plus a set of strangers encountered in the streets and train stations of Rome. In addition to gelatin silver prints, this series consists of archival pigment prints on kozo paper and silver foil, mounted with Ghanaian funerary fabric, which were included in the 2007 Venice Biennale.
