All photographs are to some extent about light. The eighty-five stunning colour photographs in this book are a masterful exploration not only of the light falling on objects or filling spaces but of the very act of seeing. Richard Ross has an uncanny ability to distil the space and the moment, whether it is profane or sacred, into its essence.
Featuring images that converse across temporal, political and cultural boundaries by artists such as Lola and Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marcelo Brodsky, Joan Colom, Marc Ferrez and Joan Fontcuberta, this book argues that the photographic image comes into being only as a consequence of reproduction, displacement and itinerancy.
