€80.00
Jens Liebchen explores the clichés of war photo-reportage by reconstructing them as calculated studio tableaux.
This photographic investigation by Jens Liebchen deconstructs the predictable conventions of war reportage, presenting it as a genre no more authentic than film or Westerns. Liebchen reconstructs reportage clichés to explore the nature of photographic seeing, composing them as calculated studio photographic tableaux. The book, which includes an introduction by Ian Jeffrey, features 19 black and white photographs. It was released as a limited edition of 750 hand-numbered copies with green cloth-covered boards and embossed title.
