Photography: Here and Elsewhere, Us and Others
A review in artpress no. 430 (February 2016, pp. 90-91) examines the history of Western fascination with the Arab world, from Orientalist painters and writers like Chateaubriand, Géricault, Loti, and Delacroix to later photographers, anthropologists, and ethnologists. The article traces this interest through colonial wars, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the rise of terrorism, and 9/11.
