John Hilliard: Not Black and White
English
By (author): Duncan Wooldridge John Hilliard
Focusing on John Hilliards fascination with the monochrome and visual obstruction, this career-spanning volume draws together the artists diverse engagement with photography. Perhaps best known for iconic photo-conceptual works produced during the 1970s, this British artists work explores the limits of the photographic medium. Using new and pioneering processes, such as overlaying prints and incorporating projector screens, the artist aims to disrupt the viewers relationship to the photograph. Hilliards focus on the monochrome blanks out the picture to undermine the photographs usual expectations and draw the viewers attention to the context of its creation. Duncan Wooldridge provides a survey on Hilliards continuous challenge to photographic convention throughout his 40-year career, accompanied by texts by the artist and over 60 illustrations.
