Reading Ciel variable: The Magazine as Site of Photographic History – Zoë Tousignant

Essays
Authors: Zoë Tousignant

This effort at historical perspective was out of place at the time, when the lion’s share of attention in the critical environment was being paid to the rebirth of installation art and the manner in which photography and, soon, the photographic would be inserted into it.
