Understanding a Photograph

John Berger

Penguin Books Ltd
2013

This publication is featured on PiE in conjunction with the exhibition “séance de travail no 2” by Konstantin Bühler at the FAP Showroom in Berlin.

John Berger’s writings on photography are some of the most original of the twentieth century. This selection contains many groundbreaking essays and previously uncollected pieces written for exhibitions and catalogues in which Berger probes the work of photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith – and the lives of those photographed – with fierce engagement, intensity and tenderness.

The selection is made and introduced by Geoff Dyer, author of the award-winning The Ongoing Moment.
