Civilization: A Photographic Survey of the 21st Century
Edited by William A. Ewing and Holly Roussel, the 2018 book 'Civilization. Immagini per il XXI secolo', published by Einaudi, acts as the catalog for the traveling exhibition 'Civilization. The way we live now'. This exhibition commenced in December at the National Museum of Seoul, South Korea, and is presently showcased at the Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art in Beijing, before concluding at the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseille in 2021. Featuring over 100 photographers, including notable names like Cindy Sherman, Edward Burtynsky, and Trevor Paglen, the project delves into civilization through photography, addressing issues like urban density, migration, identity, and technology. Paglen has also collaborated with MIT researchers to send a photographic archive into space via the EchoStar XVI satellite.
