Description and Table of Contents

Description

This beautifully produced book, published to accompany the travelling exhibition of the same name, presents the work of 24 contemporary photographers who are concerned not so much with the portrayal of reality, but rather of an artistically grounded idea of the world. Their photographs - marriages of documentation and artistic testimony - are introduced by scholarly essays exploring the 'documentary factor' in contemporary photography.
