Those interested in contemporary photography will welcome this volume exploring in-depth ten major series by John Divola. Starting with "Vandalism," his iconic look at Southern California in the 1970s and including his most recent series, "Theodore Street Project," this collection of beautifully reproduced images shows how expertly Divola moves between medium and technique. Using Polaroids of sculpted objects, appropriated stereographs and landscapes featuring his own image, Divola's diverse body of work explores painting and conceptual art through his photography. Essays by the accompanying exhibitions' curators explore themes such as existentialism, California and photography in the 1970s and natural and built environments. Divola's most recent project is discussed in an interview between the artist and Simon Baker.
