John Hilliard

Viac o knihe

Perhaps best known for his iconic photo-conceptual works produced during the 1970s, British artist John Hilliard continues to question the nature and limits of photographic representation. This career-spanning monograph draws together Hilliards diverse engagement with photography with a focus on his fascination with the monochrome, abstraction and visual obstruction. Using new and pioneering processes such as overlaying prints and incorporating projector screens, the artist aims to disrupt the viewers relationship to the photograph by placing a puncturing and interruptive monochrome at the center of many of these works. Included are several essays by the artist and artist/writer Duncan Wooldridges survey on Hilliards continuous challenge to photographic convention throughout his 40-year career.
