ANOTHER COUNTRY - Gerry Badger
The Another Country exhibition offers a lively and vital rethink of British documentary photography over the last seven decades. The collection includes a wide range of photographers working in an exciting array of photographic and artistic modes, encompassing images from iconic reportage to photo-texts, from self-portraits to political photo-collages.
As Britain occupies an increasingly important place in the history of documentary photography, award-winning writer and photography critic Gerry Badger brings essential context and depth to the conversation. Organized chronologically, each chapter covers a particular period of social and cultural history, focusing on the key photographers, figures, institutions, publications and galleries that shaped the photographic climate of their time, as well as the broader tastes of the age. Chapter-by-chapter illustrated sections present famous works and forgotten masterpieces, interspersed with focused commentary on selected photographs by Badger and various contributors. This multi-layered approach provides a better understanding of the evolution and wide variety of British documentary photography.
With over 160 photographers represented - including Bert Hardy, Lee Miller, Bill Brandt, Nigel Henderson, Don McCullin, Jane Bown, Yinka Shonibare, Maud Sulter, Nadav Kander, Tom Hunter, Chloe Dewe Matthews, Cold War Steve and many more - this book offers a comprehensive overview of how photographers and photoartists have portrayed Britain and British society over the last seventy years.
