Radical Eye; The Photography of Miron Zownir
- Germany: Die Gestalten Verlag, 1997
Germany: Die Gestalten Verlag, 1997. First Edition. Quarto. 30cm. Publisher's illustrated card wraps. 168pp. Very light wear to spine ends and extremities, sunning to the red backstrip, some small scratches to the laminate; internally clean and fresh with some pale spotting to the fore-edge of the front flyleaf. A very good, clean copy with some minor shelfwear.
A controversial and confrontational carnival of outsiders, misfits, criminals, sex workers, and the urban lost, forgotten, and dead, all seen through Zownir's empathic and unjudgemental lens. Operating in a space halfway between Weegee and Joel Peter Witkin; Zownir's photography of New York, London, and Berlin's populations of misfits, exiles, and untouchables is simultaneously heart-rending, and violently aggressive enough to warrant the content advisory warning printed on the back of the book.
