image/con/text, edited by Karen Fromm, Sophia Greiff, Malte Radtki and Anna Stemmler, delves into the possibilities of the documentary and the development of visual narrations that subvert stereotyping and traditional viewing habits. The contributions in image/con/text focus specifically on the textuality and contextuality of documentary practices and on explorations of their bounds, in particular the relationships between art, documentation and journalism.
How can – or should – the effect of images be enhanced? What possibilities currently exist to subvert the stereotyping and traditional viewing habits of classical documentary photography and its narrative forms? Prof. Steffen Siegel, the artist Martha Rosler, the photographer Edmund Clark and the art historian Prof. Susanne von Falkenhausen will explore these and other questions.

Edmund Clark is included in vol. 3 of Conversations, a book of interviews with contemporary photographers, conducted by Rémi Coignet, photo book critic, and published by The Eyes Publishing. This volume focuses on photographers who are particularly interested in editing and editorial work. Photographers thus fully discuss their editorial project, their vision of the photo book and its importance in their photographic practice.
You can purchase the book in English or French from The Eyes website.
