The Suffering of Light
Recognized as a pioneer of American color photography, since the 1970s, Webb has consistently created photographs characterized by intense color and light. His work, with its richly layered and complex composition, touches on multiple genres, including street photography, photojournalism, and fine art, but as Webb claims, “to me it all is photography. You have to go out and explore the world with a camera.” Webb’s ability to distill gesture, color, and contrasting cultural tensions into single, beguiling frames results in evocative images that convey a sense of enigma, irony, and humor. Featuring key works alongside previously unpd photographs, The Suffering of Light provides the most thorough examination to date of this modern master’s prolific, thirty-year career.

View of a Room
In 2016, Susan Meiselas was invited by Multistory to visit the Black Country in the West Midlands, UK. The resulting book A Room of Their Own is a multilayered, visual story comprised of Meiselas’ photographs, first hand testimonies and original art works from women in refuge.
A few months before the launch of the book in May 2017, The Photographers’ Gallery asked Meiselas to exhibit a print for their Touchstone programme, where visitors are invited to respond to a photograph through writing and drawing. The response card asks a simple question: ‘What do you see?’
This publication, ‘A View of a Room’, reproduces a selection of the responses that were submitted alongside a signed 6 x 4 inch aof the photograph Meiselas chose to contribute.
Includes a signed 6 x 4″ aby Susan Meiselas
Road of Bones – catalog
“Running 2031 km from Yakutsk to Magadan in Far East Russia, the ‘Kolyma Highway’ has a dark past. With untold numbers of Gulag prisoners buried beneath the highway, the ‘Road of Bones’ continues to claim new lives every year. In the coldest part of the inhabited world, the Kolyma region’s residents seem to exist in pure defiance – it is this way of life, these people surviving under extreme conditions in the shadow of a gruesome history, that I wish to engage with and portray.”
– Jacob Aue Sobol
