Synopsis:

In BETWEEN THE EYES: ESSAYS ON PHOTOGRAPHY AND POLITICS, Strauss tackles subjects ranging from "Photography and Propaganda" to the imagery of dreams; from Sebastião Salgado's epic social documents to the deeply personal photographic revelations of Francesca Woodman. The timely issue of photographic legitimacy is addressed in the essay "Photography and Belief," and in "The Highest Degree of Illusion," Strauss discusses the media frenzy surrounding the events of September 11.
The collection of essays in BETWEEN THE EYES reveals that Strauss's thinking on photography is provocative, lively, and relevant.


Review:

"Levi Strauss's [book] has asked crucial questions about the uneasy relationship that exists between photography, war and propaganda."

Peter Wollen, Nation, 10/06/2003
