Collaboration: A Potential History of Photography - Ariella Aïsha Azoulay

Descriere Collaboration: A Potential History of Photography - Ariella Aïsha Azoulay

\n Collaboration is a groundbreaking publication, by five great thinkers and practitioners in photography, in collaboration with hundreds of photographers, writers, critics, artists, and academics. This collection uses the lens of collaboration to challenge dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship. Working with an accumulation of more than six hundred photographs, each entry breaks apart photography's single creator tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration--the various relationships, exchanges, and interactions that occur in the making of any photograph and in the shaping, undoing and transforming archives.\n \nThe book explores themes such as coercion and cooperation, friendship and exploitation, shared interests and competition, and rivalry or antagonistic partnership. Collaboration foregrounds key issues facing photography, including gender, race, and societal hierarchies/divisions--and their role in shaping and reshaping identities and communities, and provoking resistance or conformity.\n \nThe photographs are presented alongside quotes, testimonies, and short texts offering perspectives on the array of themes, geographies, contexts, and events. The editors introduce each cluster of projects by providing a framework to understand and decode the complex politics, temporalities, and potentialities of photography. Collaboration reconstructs the infrastructure of photography as a collaborative practice and offers a pedagogical tool for practitioners and scholars of photography.\n
