COLLABORATION – PRESENTATION AND PANEL DISCUSSION AT LCC
Collaboration: A Potential History
14 November 2023
Edmund Clark, Reader in the Political Image at LCC, is in discussion with Wendy Ewald, Susan Meiselas, Laura Wexler about their new book exploring and recontextualising collaborative photographic practice.
Collaboration presents a groundbreaking and multifaceted history of photography which explores photography through the lens of collaboration, challenging the dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship. In a vast, collaborative effort led by five of the great thinkers and practitioners in photography that includes more than 550 photographs and over 80 text contributors, this book breaks apart photography’s ‘single creator’ tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration – the various relationships, exchanges and interactions which occur between all participants in the event of photography.
