Storylines

Photographs made in Paris, Peru, London, Wales, Coney Island and Chicago appear alongside Polaroids, film stills and contact sheets in this survey of work spanning 1948 to 2004. Groups of images from different series bring together several forms of photographic work rather than concentrating on a single place or project. Everyday subjects and private experience run through the work, with an emphasis on direct, unsentimental black-and-white imagery and the passage of time. The selection extends beyond individual photographs to include material from film and photographic working processes. Published to accompany an exhibition at Tate Modern in London, the book includes contributions by Vicente Todoli and Ian Penman.
