In this book, photographer and critic Martha Rosler traces the ways in which art draws its meaning from within its social and political frameworks. The book’s two artworks and a related essay exemplify and investigate the social embeddedness of art. They suggest how changing times and changing circumstances affect not only the form and meaning of photography but also its effects on its audience, including its ability to activate its viewers.
