Women Photographers: Contemporaries: (1970-Today)
Author: Clara Bouveresse
Format: Paperback, 125mm x 190mm, 250g, 144 pages
Published: Thames & Hudson Ltd, United Kingdom, 2020
With the rise of feminism, women photographers conquered the mainstream, with an increasingly commodified art world now viewing them simply as photographers and not merely a novelty or subcategory. Some women combined their photography practice with video, installations and other media, while others used the camera as a tool for questioning the concept of imagemaking itself, or for opening a fruitiful dialogue with subjects, instead of imposing an outside viewpoint. A rising awareness of environmental concerns went hand in hand with the issues of globalization and diversity.
Clara Bouveresse is a lecturer at Universite d'Evry Val d'Essonne and a photography specialist and curator. She co-organized the exhibition 'Magnum Manifesto' at the International Center of Photography, New York, in 2017, and edited the accompanying book, which was published by Thames & Hudson.
