Donigan Cumming: The Stage
€449.00
A photo-illustrated work featuring photographs of the absurd and neglected, weaving a path between theatricality and reality.
Donigan Cumming: The Stage is an early work from this acclaimed photographer of the old, ugly, neglected, sick, demented, and drunk. A future classic, the work was simultaneously criticized as exploitative and celebrated as being genuinely in touch with its subjects. Cumming's often repellent and always engaging photographs bring sordid existences to life, with "All of life is a stage" reverberating through the course of the photographs as they weave a complex path between theatricality and reality. The book includes 250 black and white plates (though some sources cite 128 pages and 248 photographs) and features annotations by the photographer.
