The definitive survey of contemporary photography of the human
body. The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized
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. Surveying 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 and
Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The
Photobook 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. Supporting the broad range of
photography is an essay by the psychologist Professor David Sander,
who discusses the neurological representation of our own bodies.
