Allan Sekula - Photography Against the Grain: Essays and Photo Works, 1973–1983

$79 AUD · In stock

Sold by Perimeter Books, Thornbury

Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs is by artist, theorist and filmmaker Allan Sekula . Originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984, this book significantly altered the way in which the function of documentary photography was conceptualised. In these essays and images, Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labor and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at the California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013
