Description

Long out of print, this seminal collection of essays and photographs by artist, theorist, and filmmaker Allan Sekula was originally published by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1984. Sekula sought to portray the inextricable bond between labour and material culture, drawing deeply on Marxist theory to argue passionately for a collective model of progress.
