Joel-Peter Witkin è un fotografo americano il cui lavoro esplora spesso temi come la morte, i cadaveri e vari outsider della società. Le sue complesse scene ricordano frequentemente episodi religiosi o dipinti classici iconici. La distintiva visione artistica di Witkin confronta lo spettatore con le sfidanti intersezioni tra vita, morte e l'inquietante.





This volume - investigating the work of a particular photographer, in this case, Joel-Peter Witkin - comprises a 4000-word essay by an expert in the field, 55 photographs presented chronologically, each with a commentary, and a biography of the featured photographer.
Few living photographers are as consistently controversial and provocative as Joel-Peter Witkin, whose work elicits hostility and admiration in equal measure. Shocking and compelling, the photographs in this retrospective collection reach to the outer limits of human nature. 100 full-page reproductions, printed in four colors.
