Summary:

Die Publikation "The Colors of Photography" bietet ein vertieftes Verständnis von der Bedeutung von Farbe im Feld der Fotografie. Bis anhin hat die Farbfotografie stets das „Hier und Jetzt" markiert, während Schwarzweißfotografien mit unserem Geschichtsbild verknüpft wurden und so unser kollektives Gedächtnis geformt haben. Solche generalisierenden Dichotomien beginnen sich jedoch aufzulösen wenn man die ästhetische, kulturelle und politische Komplexität von Farbe in der Fotografie betrachtet. Mit Aufsätzen von Bettina Gockel, Tanya Sheehan, Blake Stimson, Kim Timby, Kelley Wilder und Deborah Willis. Fotografische Beiträge von Hans Danuser, Charlotte Cotton und Raymond Meier.

The Colors of Photography aims to provide a deeper understanding of what color is in the field of photography. Until today, color photography has marked the "here and now," while black and white photographs have been linked to our image of history and have formed our collective memory. However, such general dichotomies start to crumble when considering the aesthetic, cultural, and political complexity of color in photography. With essays by Charlotte Cotton, Bettina Gockel, Tanya Sheehan, Blake Stimson, Kim Timby, Kelley Wilder, Deborah Willis. Photographic contributions by Hans Danuser and Raymond Meier.
