Liz Deschenes

The only comprehensive publication devoted exclusively to â€œone of the quiet giants of post-conceptual photographyâ€ (The New York Times), this book celebrates Liz Deschenesâ€™s twenty-year career with immaculately produced images, an interview with the artist, and critical essays. One of the most innovative artists working today, Liz Deschenes continually challenges photographyâ€™s traditional conventions. Since the mid-1990s her work has evolved as a stripping away of photographyâ€™s inherent interference with its subjects. Making use of the mediumâ€™s most fundamental aspectsâ€•paper, light, chemicalsâ€•she produces camera-less pieces that not only remind viewers of photographyâ€™s essential goal of reflecting light and color but also expand its scope into the realm of sculpture. Filled with dazzling reproductions of Deschenesâ€™s installations and lush work, this book includes her key bodies of works, from early color studies to recent hybrid photo-sculptural installations that playfully interact with their environment. An interview captures Deschenes's voice and point of view and a series of critical essays rounds out this unparalleled exploration of an exciting, boundary-pushing artist working at the height of her powers.
