A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This large format book is also the catalog of the exhibition of JeffWall held at the Museo Tamayo Contemporary Art in Mexico City.Includes some of his recent color photographs mounted in light boxes, and large black and white prints.

For the Canadian artist, his photographs are divided into two categories: documentary, a representation of a specific place and space without manifest manipulation by the artist, and film, which recreates the contec and restructures. The latter category includes items from subtle movements within a given situationeven more elaborate approaches involve the construction of scenarios and other aspects of stage work.

Although for Wall are two different working methods, has a greatinterest in how the two merge and overlap continuously overartistic practice. With many references to the outstanding naturalenvironment and distinctive urban character of the city ofVancouver, where the artist lives and works, the group ofphotographs reproduced here focuses primarily on the work created in the last seven years. This selection offers a compellinglook at the ways in which Wall continues to question and expandthe way that photography is defined and understood. Jeff Wallwas awarded the Hasselblad Award 2002 and his work is one of the most renowned museums and collections.
