Faking Death

Autor Penny Cousineau-Levine
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2003
In Faking Death Penny Cousineau-Levine examines the work of over 120 Canadian photographers, revealing important aspects of Canadian identity and imagination. Contrasting Canadian photography with American and European traditions, she shows that Canadian photographers are often preoccupied with a place that is "elsewhere," a doubling and duality that also occurs in Canadian literature, film, and political life. Subverting the documentary tradition and other stylistic idioms for their own distinctive ends, Canadian photographers exhibit an ambivalent preoccupation with death and dying, bondage, and entrapment. Cousineau-Levine argues that this is characteristically a 'faked' death that expresses a collective Canadian wish for a symbolic passage to national maturity. Faking Death includes 16 colour reproductions and 150 duotones by artists such as Raymonde April, Jeff Wall, Lynne Cohen, Charles Gagnon, Evergon, Michel Lambeth, Thaddeus Holownia, Geoffrey James, Geneviève Cadieux, Shelley Niro, Diana Thorneycroft, Jin-me Yoon, Ian Wallace, and Ken Lum. By bringing together this many Canadian works Faking Death provides a compelling visual introduction to one of Canada's most vibrant and internationally recognized artistic media. It is an invaluable tool for curators, artists, teachers, students, and scholars in art history, fine arts, Canadian studies, film, communications, literature, and cultural studies.

"This eagerly awaited book is the culmination of Penny Cousineau-Levine's many significant contributions to our understanding of Canadian photography. Faking Death gives us a history of contemporary Canadian photography as well as an original theory for its interpretation. We will be talking about and referring to this work for a long time." Martha Langford, author of Suspended Conversations: The Afterlife of Memory in Photographic Albums"The narratives of displacement, dislocation, ambivalence and fear that hauntCouineau-Levine's text are productive and pertinent tools with which to begin unpacking theintended and subconscious meanings of contemporary art photography."--The Art Book,September 2004
