Bringing together iconic works and anonymous images, the book unfolds through seven thematic perspectives—anatomical, performative, affective, fascinated, ethical, formal, and viral—inviting readers to reconsider, through 200 years of photography, the complex and deeply felt relationships we maintain with the living world.” Textuel
