Aperture – Magazine aperture 249 : reference

« Référence » tient compte du rôle que jouent les images dans la création d’autre chose. Que peut faire une photographie? Couvrant le design de mode, l’architecture, le cinéma et l’imprimé, les artistes présentés dans ce numéro empruntent et citent leur matériel source pour créer des œuvres transformatrices qui leur sont propres.
