Collaboration - A Potential History Of Photography - Azoulay Ariella Aïsha

. .

Résumé :
This groundbreaking publication is the result of a decade-long project initiated by a group of five leading academics and practitioners. it asks what we learn by looking at photography through the lens of collaboration - the condition of photography that shifts focus from the single photographer of an image to those participating in its creation, distribution, uses and interpretation over time. collaboration is built upon 115 selected projects that span the history of photography, featuring more than 100 contributing writers, 185 photographers, and hundreds of photographed persons. it is not an ultimate account of what photography is, does, or means. rather, the book is an inspiration for teaching and an open invitation to scholars, activists, photographers and others to practice always with and alongside others and participate actively in this engagement and inquiry.
