Close-Up: proximity and defamiliarisation in art, film and photography

Rate this book
Disorienting and unsettling, strangely beautiful and completely compelling, the extraordinary visual and conceptual power of the close-up is revealed in this book, which reproduces and discusses many great works of art ranging from experiments in nineteenth-century microscopy through to avant-garde film and photography to conceptual work and the use of close-up photography and film in contemporary art.
