More about the book

In the work of Jan Paul Evers, both preexisting and original motifs serve as the basis for black-and-white photographs made using a combination of digital and analog processes. The images have a visual effect that transcends the boundary between painting and photography, while reflecting on the reproducibility of the medium itself. In his videos, photographs, and installations, Leon Kahane addresses economic migration and the construction of territorial borders. The politics of his images takes in medial upheaval and global developments. In her video and sculptural work, Jumana Manna develops narratives that can be read as?possible histories.? These histories, along with archaeological discoveries, interrogate the concept of national cultural heritage.
