Full Description
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 topics as well as his dialectics of form. Posing new questions about the relations between aesthetics and politics, Gail Day and Steve Edwards consider Sekula's examination of image modes alongside his radical investigations of terraqueous capitalism.
