Author: Campany, David et alPhotography is omnipresent; everyone is photographing everything. How do artists and writers reconcile this voracious urge to photograph with a photogra phic aesthetic and methodology that has tended to value “less is more”? One pairs artists and writers to think about this question. The results offer a probing assessment of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's maxim: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”Eight photographers – Marco Breuer, Thomas Joshua Cooper, John Gossage, Trevor Paglen, Alison Rossiter, Victoria Sambunaris, Rebecca Norris Webb and James Welling – were asked to submit one image on the theme of minimalism. Eight writers – David Campany, Teju Cole, Christie Davis, John D'Agata, Michael Fried, Darius Himes, Leah Ollman and Laura Steward – were enlisted to respond to those submissions, each paired with a specific image.ISBN 9781942185345.
