Carmen Winant. Instructional Photography: Leaning How to Live Now
By Carmen Winant.
The acclaimed author of My Birth asks: can photographs help us live?
A timely and explosive book by acclaimed artist and writer Carmen Winant, Instructional Photography offers an investigation of a genre of photographs Winant calls “instructional.” It asks: can photographs teach, in and of themselves? Alternating between found images and shorter, text-based observations, Winant delves into this category of images through her own collection, understanding them as something beyond, or at least in between, documentary and fine art. Included in the volume are pictures of dog-training techniques, home gynecological exams and sitting Shiva, among many others. The book builds on a presentation that Winant delivered at the MoMA Contemporary Photo Forum in September 2020.
PRE-ORDER. EXPECTED TO SHIP IN OCTOBER 2021.
