This new edition, enlarged with an unpublished chapter, radically reworked and enriched with over a hundred images, revisits the arguments of the previous volume, putting them in dialogue with the most recent practices. Broadening the selection of works presented, Cotton celebrates a new generation of artists who are radically changing photography, tracing how the medium has been used by contemporary artists to represent the body, everyday life, the constructed image and the documentary tradition, and to question its own status as art.
