Summary

Seven contemporary photographers, focused upon the object and its representation in photography, demonstrate the diverse styles and approaches possible. The approaches featured in this book document the wealth of aesthetic strategies available to photographic artists today. The images disclose a clear rejection of the naive documentarism of the 19th century, to which they allude with a certain affectionate irony. Objects are observed, registered, staged, documented, and isolated from their usual contexts. These photos call upon the viewer to reject the unambiguous view and to reflect upon the nature of the objects depicted.
