Amphibious Realities (eBook, ePUB)

The Documentary Poetics of Allan Sekula

Beschreibung

The photographer, filmmaker and theorist Allan Sekula (1951-2013) was one of the most significant media intellectuals of the last fifty years, renowned for a sequence of compelling anti-capitalist artworks. This penetrating study pursues surprising paths through his practice, delineating the depicted top¿ics as well as his dialectics of form. Posing new questions about the relätions between aesthetics and politics, Gail Day and Steve Edwards consider Sekula's examination of image modes alongside his radical investigations of terraqueous capitalism.

Rezensionen

An audacity at once political and aesthetic, Allan Sekula's critical realist intervention--produced during the peak years of modernist consensus--emerges here in all its forceful untimeliness Kristin Ross, author of The Politics and Poetics of Everyday life
