Alfredo Jaar: Hasselblad Award 2020

The Hasselblad Award 2020 celebrates the influential work of Alfredo Jaar—a multidisciplinary artist with a deep political engagement and a relentless determination to probe and challenge the medium of photography. This book brings together some of his groundbreaking works and includes a new essay by philosopher Jacques Rancière in both English and French. 

"Alfredo Jaar has made significant contributions to the history of photograhy by adressing the politics that govern the production and circulation of images, showing us the economic and social implications embedded in the act of seeing, as well as our responsibilities as spectators of images." —Thyago Noguiera, Chair of the Hasselblad Award Jury 2020
