Beschreibung
In 1979 Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister of Great Britain; in 1989 the
Berlin Wall fell. One decade and two historical events that transformed Europe
and the world and served as the frame of other social, cultural and technological
revolutions: the application of protocols that would give rise to virtual
communication networks (TCP and IP), England’s “no future”, the “end of history”
in the United States… This volume, which compiles the photographs from the
exhibition Transiciones (Transitions), held as part of PHotoEspana 2016, shows the
evolution in the photographer’s eye from the 1980s, when they sensed the end of
industrial society, to the 1990s, when it strived to adapt to the onset of
globalisation and the new way of assimilating the world it brought about. The
book contains the works of Chris Killip, Graham Smith, Martin Parr, Jean Marc
Bustamante, Candida Hofer, Axel Hutte, Tata Ronkholz, Thomas, Ruff, Frank
Breuer, Wilhelm Schurmann, Boris Mikhailov, Sergey Chilikov, Heinrich Riebesehl
and Josef Koudelka, among others.
