@Earth - Peter Kennard

. .

Résumé :
As revolutionary in form as in content, @earth tells its story in the language of photomontage, one that requires no translation to be understood the world over. It's also the medium long favored by radical artists like Peter Kennard, whose work demonstrates the important role art can play in political discourse. At turns challenging, unsettling, and poignant, these seven chapters combine new works made with Tarek Salhany with iconic images from throughout Kennard's 40-year career. Together they create a moving statement about the impending eco-crisis, the arms race, war, and the injustices of the power structures dominating today's world.

I take my hat off to you Sir, @earth looks great. -Banksy This book perfectly captures the brutal asymmetries of our age: heavy weaponry trained on broken people, all-seeing technologies and disappearing identities, perpetually exhaling industry and an asphyxiating planet. If there's a word that's worth a thousand pictures, it's @earth. -Naomi Klein Peter Kennard's work is haunting. Eschewing words, it insists on not being forgotten. He is a master of the medium of photomontage. -John Berger
