From Publisher:

Featuring such established and emerging photographers as Joan Fontcuberta, Hubertus von Ameluxen, Daniel Girardin, Andr Gunthert, Ian Jeffrey, Mounira Khemir, Boris Kossoy, Andrea Kunnard, Vincent Lavoie, Joan Warnaco, Jos Antonio Navarrete, Bernardo Riego, Teresa Siza, Marie Loup Sougez, Johan Swinnen, Carmelo Vega, and Henning Steen Wettendorff, Photography: Crisis in History showcases work that challenges the way in which we have normally understood the medium of photography. At a time when the photographic image is omnipresent--in our daily environment as it is in art--the historical and aesthetic models used to interpret photography are in a state of crisis. Here an international group of historians and critics--as well as the artists mentioned above--revise the dominant assumptions on which our knowledge and appreciation of the history of photography have been based, and set out a number of possible alternatives. Featuring a selection of the best in contemporary international photography, as well as sixteen revealing and concise essays exploring the state of the historical question in photography, Photography: Crisis in History is an exhilarating artistic and art-historical document.
