ill. OPappband. / Hardcover. 1. Aufl./3.000 Ex. An encounter with Aaron Siskind inspired American photographer Alan Cohen (born 1943) to abandon his doctoral program in thermodynamics and instead pursue a career in photography under Siskind`s tutelage. For the past two decades Cohen has traveled the world, using the medium of black-and-white photography to record places marked by the political acts or the covert actions of others; places marked by time through the course of natural and often catastrophic occurrences. Crumbling stone walls and other near-invisible demarcations of political boundaries are among the mute witnesses he chooses as his subjects. I have come to understand that history, in a contemporary image, can be sited, Cohen writes. Events can--and do--become geography. This book tracks the evolution of Cohen`s work over a 40-year career, reflecting the artist`s belief in photography as both a social document and a meditative art.
