Simultaneous with this development in contemporary art, however, photography was moving toward total digitalisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLateness and Longing\u003c\/em\u003e presents the first account of a generation of artists—focused on the work of Zoe Leonard, Tacita Dean, Sharon Lockhart, and Moyra Davey—who have collectively transformed the practice of photography. They use analogue technologies in a dissident way and radicalise signifiers of older models of feminist art. All these artists have resisted the transition to the digital in their work. Instead—in what amounts to a series of feminist polemics—they return to earlier, incomplete, or unrealised moments in photography’s history, gravitating toward the analogue basis of photographic mediums. Their work announces that photography has become—not obsolete—but “late,” opened up by the potentially critical forces of anachronism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a strategy of return—of refusing to let go—the work of these artists proposes an afterlife and survival of the photographic in contemporary art, a formal lateness wherein photography finds its way forward through resistance to the contemporary itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424523534572,"sku":"9780226035116","price":104.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226035116.jpg?v=1774768378"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/george-baker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
