Critics Review
“For many years, and almost single-handedly, Martha Rosler has provided a solid theoretical basis for critical studies in photography and video. This collection of her lucid essays is a useful compilation of her most important theoretical work. Seeing the essays (and a fascinating collection of photographs) together in this book, one is struck by the depth of her work: a unique blend of insight as critical clarity and art as idea.” DeeDee Halleck, independent film maker and Professor Emeritus of Communications, University of California, San Diego “For many years, and almost singlehandedly, Martha Rosler has provided a solid theoretical basis for critical studies in photography and video.
