Buchloh, “Allan Sekula: Photography between Discourse and Document”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the exhibition \u003ci\u003eFish Story\u003c\/i\u003e, American artist Allan Sekula (1951) reconstructed a realist model of photographic representation, while taking a critical stance towards traditional documentary photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough there is a long artistic tradition of depicting harbors, ships and coastlines, few contemporary artists are continuing it. In \u003ci\u003eFish Story\u003c\/i\u003e Sekula picked up this tradition, demonstrating the history and future of maritime space not only as a visual space but also as a socio-economic one. Fish Story was his third project in a related cycle of works that deal with the imaginary and actual geography of the advanced capitalistic world. A key issue in \u003ci\u003eFish Story\u003c\/i\u003e is the connection between containerized cargo movement and the growing internationalization of the world industrial economy, with its effects on the actual social space of ports.","brand":"Witte de Withe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139725377776,"sku":"9789491435096","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789491435096_p0.jpg?v=1763676778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789491435096","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
