The (Invisible) Art of Documenting Art

Today the viewers of the installation views of an exhibition exceeds by far the number of those that that visit a gallery or a museum. The book by artist Cristina Garrido, published by Caniche Editorial, puts the focus of attention, through the gesture of rotating the camera, on the figure of the documentary photographer of contemporary art as a fundamental mediator between the work of art and the viewer in the Digital Age. It explores the relationship that is established between the artist, his/ her work and the photographer, who irremediably contributes with his/ her subjective vision of the art object or exhibition. Open conversation amongst Italy-based art photographers Ela Bilakowska and Andrea Rossetti, art critic and curator Antonio Grulli, and artist Cristina Garrido.
