Beschreibung
Hoda Afshar's work forces us to contend with violence and brutality not through blunt imagery but through evocation.

Iranian-born Hoda Afshar is an innovative and unflinching photomedia artist. Her deeply researched yet emotionally sensitive bodies of work are a form of activism and artistic inquiry. Amassed together for the first time, Hoda Afshar's works offer a poignant reminder of the power of images and their coercive potential.

This timely book examines the critical urgency and political imperative of Afshar's practice and amplifies the photographic image's ethical and emotive impact.

Richly illustrated, the book features photography and film from 2004 to 2022. It also includes new writing on the artist by curator and editor, Isobel Parker Philip, and seven commissioned authors who bring both critical insights into Afshar's practice as well as creative and experimental responses to her work.
