About this book
I Am a Camera presents primarily photographic work organised into three themes: "True Life Adventures" "Fiction and Artifice" and "Places Portraits Still Lives Tableaux". Some of the works included are from emerging and unknown artists while most are fully fledged art stars. Sam Taylor-Woods panoramic views of contemporary domestic life; Jessica Craig-Martins cropped close-ups of high society social life reveal nameless wrinkles and age spots on the rich and famous; Andreas Gurskys exaggerated images of urban existence a sterile display of Nike sneakers or the endless grid of hotels balconies show modern life with barely a trace of human existence. The works included vary greatly from each other but each offers a compelling interpretation about how we live.
