Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Lead article for Studies in Photography (Summer 2022) which focuses on Anselm Kiefer's use of photography as part of his wider practice, an understudied aspect of the artist's oeuvre. This is the first print journal publication in English on Kiefer's photography, often an incubator of his ideas in other media. The essay focuses on Kiefer's photo-documentation of a notorious performance from 1969, entitled Occupations, and the reutilisation of these photographs throughout his career, especially how they served his idea of history repeating itself. The essay explores contemporary resonances of Kiefer's work at a time of various global conflicts.
