First published in 1992, The Creatures Time Forgot examines the
representation of disabled people - in advertising, particularly
that produced by disability charities, and in the work of
photographers such as Diane Arbus and Gary Winogrand. He shows how
such images construct disabled people as 'creatures,' the
tragic-but-brave objects of photographic gaze, or as the ''appy
'andicapped' of 'positive imagery' advertising. As a disabled
photographer and writer, David Hevey has been a pioneer in
challenging such visual representations of disabled people. His
work advocates a move away from medical, charity or
impairment-fixated imagery towards a visual equivalent of 'Rights
not Charity'. The book outlines David Hevey's own photographic
practice and includes wide-ranging selections from his work to
create a visual form which reflects the new social presence of
disabled people. This book will be of interest to students of media
studies, cultural studies, and disability studies.
