Description

The revival of documentary in art, considered in historical, theoretical, and contemporary contexts.After a long period in eclipse, documentary has undergone a marked revival in recent art.

This has been spurred by two phenomena- the exhibition of photographic and video work on political issues at Documenta and numerous biennials; and increasing attention to issues of injustice, violence, and trauma in the war zones of the endemically conflict-ridden twenty-first century.

The renewed attention to photography and video in the gallery and museum world has helped make documentary one of the most prominent modes of art-making today.

Unsurprisingly, this development has been accompanied by a rich strain of theoretical and historical writing on documentary. This anthology provides a much-needed contextual grounding for documentary art.

It explores the roots of documentary in modernism and its critique under postmodernism; surveys current theoretical thinking about documentary; and examines a wide range of work by artists within, around, or against documentary through their own writings and interviews. Artists surveyed include-Kutlug Ataman, Ursula Biemann, Hasan Elahi, Harun Farocki, Omer Fast, Joan Fontcuberta, Regina Jose Galindo, David Goldblatt, Craigie Horsfield, Alfredo Jaar, Emily Jacir, Lisa F.
