| Zusammenfassung: | "Since its inception, photography has provided a means to explore, invent and subvert constructions of identity, and to unite different communities. In this landmark book, authors Flora Dunster and Theo Gordon reveal how queer art and politics have intersected with the photographic medium. Across ten diverse themes--from documentary to performance, landscape to abstraction, visibility to militancy and more--Photography - A Queer History examines the fundamental role of photography in the creation of queer identities and how queer culture has, in turn, influenced the art form. Featuring over 140 photographers, with extended profiles on 79 key artists, including Robert Mapplethorpe, Joan E. Biren, Ajamu and Zanele Muholi, this essential work spans multiple historical and national contexts, producing a varied and expansive picture of queer photographic practices."-- From Robert Mapplethorpe to Deborah Bright, this is the essential guide to queer photography |
