ALONA PARDO, WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY DAVID CAMPANY,
DAVID CHANDLER, DUNCAN FORBES, SOPHIE HACKETT,
SEAN O'HAGAN, AND STANLEY WOLUKAU-WANAMBWA,
AMONG OTHERS
At a time when individual rights are being contested and when
those on the fringes of society feel deeply threatened, this powerful
photographic compilation delivers a message of humanity and
inclusiveness that transcends geopolitical and cultural boundaries.
Works by critically acclaimed photographers including Bruce
Davidson, Paz Errazuriz, Jim Goldberg, Danny Lyon, Mary Ellen
Mark, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama, and Dayanita Singh cast
a compassionate, unflinching eye on the worlds inhabited by
transsexuals, hookers, hustlers, bikers, junkies, circus performers,
gang members, survivalists, petty criminals, and others who live
in the shadows, on the streets, and out of the public eye. Grouped
by photographer and ranging in genre from portraiture to
photojournalism, these images were selected for their authentic
and humane perspective, as well as for their artistic brilliance. An
important testament to photography's power to both expose
injustice and provide affirmation for those outside the norm,
this collection bears witness to the ways social attitudes change
across time and space, and how visual representation can promote
understanding and dialogue.
ALONA PARDO is Curator at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. She has
co-authored numerous books including Strange and Familiar: Britain as
