Photography as an act of re-seeing

Part of Aperture’s Photography Workshop Series, this volume brings Vik Muniz’s creative practice into conversation with the questions his work raises about what counts as a photograph, sculpture, or painting. Through images and words, it considers how ideas take shape and how choices of subject, scale, and material affect an artwork. Muniz also discusses collaboration, imperfection, and making images that challenge perception. The book’s emphasis is both practical and conceptual: it offers insight into creative approaches while opening up ways to think about photography as an art form.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photographers interested in developing their creative practice
  • Readers seeking a closer look at Vik Muniz’s artistic approach
  • Those interested in photography’s relationship to sculpture, painting, and materials
