With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists.

Politicised, conceptualised, and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the 'post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce, and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSurveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific, and vernacular photography—including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo, Juergen Teller, Sølve Sundsbø, and Daniel Sannwald—\u003cem\u003eBody: The Photobook\u003c\/em\u003e explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting the broad range of photography is an essay by the psychologist Professor David Sander, who discusses the neurological representation of our own bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362526314732,"sku":"9780500296561","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2786473482366.jpg?v=1772888157"},{"product_id":"deborah-turbeville-photocollage-by-nathalie-herschdorfer-9780500026212","title":"Deborah Turbeville: Photocollage","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimeless, evocative and hauntingly beautiful:\u003c\/strong\u003e a retrospective monograph by a truly innovative image maker whose female gaze transformed fashion photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican photographer Deborah Turbeville defies classification. She belongs to no school or movement. Her unique visual signature has been recognizable since her emergence as a major talent in the 1970s. Her images are evocative, difficult to date at first glance, and seem dreamlike to our 21st-century eyes. Turbeville stands apart from her male contemporaries, whose hard-edged, highly sexualised photographs of women now seem to be of their time in comparison with Turbeville's very different representation of beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on the area of Turbeville's practice where her genius as an artist can be found: photocollage. In contrast to her contemporaries in fashion photography, she was deliberately playful with her images: xeroxing, cutting, scraping and pinning prints together, writing in the margins and creating narrative sequences. Her work is located far from single, glossy images. It inhabits a liminal zone between art and commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt upon extensive research in the Deborah Turbeville archive, the work shown spans commercial and personal projects, with many images published for the first time. With texts by Vince Aletti, Anna Tellgren and Felix Hoffmann, this book brings into the spotlight the ways in which Turbeville redefined fashion photography, moving away from the sexual provocation and stereotypes assigned by male photographers to an idea of femininity on her terms. \u003cem\u003eDeborah Turbeville: Photocollage\u003c\/em\u003e will be an essential publication with modern relevance for all with a passion for fashion photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383769710828,"sku":"9780500026212","price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/82983482366.jpg?v=1773379136"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/nathalie-herschdorfer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
