Between documentation and fiction--the realities of four world-famous photographers.

Recognizing strangeness in familiar objects, the present in the past, the artificial in the authentic-the four masterly photographers in this collection offer glimpses of a world that blurs the boundary between reality and imagination. Showcasing the work of Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andreas Gursky, and Jeff Wall, this book presents four photographers whose images skillfully interrogate the possibilities and limitations of their medium.

Working with both analog and digital technologies, each photographer not only formulates a wholly distinct way of seeing reality but also analyzes human perception itself, inviting viewers to individually interpret their works. Their subjects range from fleeting everyday scenes to mysterious events and re-enacted historical happenings. What these images all share is the artists' intent to meld the documentary--traditionally seen as photography's cardinal virtue--with the fictional. This exclusive volume presents the works of the stars of the contemporary international photography scene.

Devour the Land: War and American Landscape Photography Since 1970
<b>Tracing the impacts of militarism on the American landscape, through the lens of art, environmental studies, and politics</b> <p/><i>Devour the Land</i> considers how contemporary photographers have responded to the US military's impact on the domestic environment since the 1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers' varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict--much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work. Designed to evoke a field book and to nod toward ephemera produced by earlier artists and activists, the catalogue features works by dozens of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Dorothy Marder, Alex Webb, Terry Evans, and many more. <p/>Distributed for the Harvard Art Museums <br><p> <br><strong>Exhibition Schedule: </strong></p><b>Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA</b><br> (September 17, 2021-January 16, 2022)<br>
