“Perpetual care” refers to a service offered by cemeteries providing long-term upkeep of one’s gravestone and plot. In his new photography monograph, Clay Maxwell Jordan inverts this phrase and applies it ironically to an American society that has failed to protect its citizens. Poetic and enigmatic in equal measure, Perpetual Care touches on aspects of the religious, existential, and social in modern America.

Clay Maxwell Jordan is a photographer who has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. He is a 2019 MacDowell fellow and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. His first monograph, Nothing’s Coming Soon, was published in 2019 by Fall Line Press and his second book, Perpetual Care, was released in April 2024.
