Description: "Made with the camera's perspective in mind, Sara VanDerBeek's photographic and sculptural arrangements emulate a poet's economic use of structure, phrasing, and rhythm. Operating as sites of contact, her works position the archaeological past in direct dialogue with current forms of digital image capture and circulation. The subject of solo exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and the Baltimore Museum of Art, Sara VanDerBeek (*1976, New York) has been internationally recognized as a key progenitor of contemporary art's engagement with the medium of photography in an expanded field. This first book-length study distills dscrete bodies of work made between 2006 and 2016 that shift between the more controlled space of the studio and site visits to Detroit, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Rome, Paris, Naples, Ecuador, Rotterdam, and Baltimore."--Back cover
