Fourteen in-depth conversations with artists that go beyond the simple interview: Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Daniel Blaufuks, Robert Cumming, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lewis Baltz, John Stezaker, Paul Graham, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Jeff Wall, Lucas Blalock, Susan Meiselas, Victor Burgin, William Klein and Stephen Shore. Page after page we move from the philosophical reflections and the simple yet disarming statements of Stephen Shore to the exchange with William Klein as artist, photographer and film-maker; Campany tells of Susan Meiselas’s concern to keep all her projects alive in the different contexts in which they can now circulate (books, exhibitions, magazine pages, websites) and of Jeff Wall’s enquiry into photography as "picture" and as "document". The conversations reveal the complex relations between art and photography, photography and the world, word and image, and for each artist Campany describes how the exchange took place. "The voices in this book are all different, but each has faced the question of understanding the medium they use, whether technical, philosophical, aesthetic or social. Together they probably provide a very good working definition of photography, and at the same time raise many contradictions and paradoxes. If photography really is a medium, it is one in a way that eludes any fixed and satisfying definition" (David Campany).
