  □War as Ever! by Tracy Mackenna / 128pages

 

What is the relationship between conflict, looking and art? Derived from an exhibition at the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Scottish artists Tracy Mackenna and Edwin Janssen investigate the relationship between the historical visual culture of war and contemporary media.
This Chinese-folded book is separated into five distinct sections: in the first, appropriated images ranging from from medieval etchings to newspaper clippings document an artist s projection, alongside text from Susan Sontag s noted book Regarding the Pain of Others. An essay from Frits Gierstberg discusses and documents the exhibition itself, while Lina van der Wolde explores the project s starting point the historic Van Kittensteyn album (1613) from the Dutch War of Independence.
