| Summary: | Whereas previous publications by the Walther Collection have explored singular aspects of its holdings, Re/Trace is their first volume to juxtapose images from different cultures, time periods and materialities. With examples from Africa, the Americas, Europe and eastern Asia, and with image types ranging from portraiture to photojournalism to conceptual to vernacular and archival photography, it presents a thorough, global dialogue on the diverse paths of development in historical and contemporary image productions. The overarching theme uniting all of these selected examples is the body: the social, cultural and political constructions that shape not only our self-representation but also our identity and experience. |
