A new, revolutionary history of photography from a stellar team of
writers and thinkers that challenges all existing narratives by
focusing on the complex collaborations between photographer and
subject. Led by five of the great thinkers and practitioners in
photography, and including texts by over 100 writers, critics and
academics, this groundbreaking publication presents a potential
history of photography explored through the lens of collaboration,
challenging the dominant narratives around photographic history and
authorship. With more than 1,000 photographs, it breaks apart
photography’s ‘single creator’ tradition by bringing to light
tangible traces of collaboration – the various relationships,
exchanges and interactions that occur between all participants in
the making of any photograph. This collaboration takes different
forms, including coercion and cooperation, friendship and
exploitation, and expresses shared interests as well as
competition, rivalry or antagonistic partnership. The conditions of
collaboration are explored through 100 photography ‘projects’,
divided into eight thematic chapters including ‘The Photographed
Subject’, ‘The Author’ and ‘Potentializing Violence’. The
result of years of research, Collaboration addresses key issues of
gender, race and societal hierarchies and divisions and their role
in forging identity and conformity. The photographs from each
project are presented non-hierarchically alongside quotes,
testimonies, and short texts by guest contributors. These networks
of texts and images offer perspectives on a vast array of
photographic themes, from Araki’s portraits of women to archival
files from the Spanish Civil War. Each chapter is introduced by the
editors, who provide the keys to understanding and decoding the
complex politics of seeing.
