Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs by artist, theorist, and filmmaker Allan Sekula was originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984. Sekula sought to depict the inextricable link between labor and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to passionately argue for a collective model of progress. Sekula taught at the California Institute of Arts (CalArts) from 1985 until his death in 2013, and from that insider's perspective, he critiqued photography and the circumstances of its production and consumption, exposing what the medium failed to represent—women, workers, minorities, and the institutional structures that reinforce cultural biases. Allan Sekula (1951–2013) was an American artist whose work spans several long-term photographic series (Aerospace Folktales, 1973; School as a Factory, 1980; War Without Bodies, 1991/96), critical texts (The Body and the Archive, 1986 and Debating Occupy, 2012), and a film (The Forgotten Space, 2012).
