Face on: Photography as social exchange.

We cite from the cover:
"Face On: Photography as Social Exchange critically examines the current vogue for portrait-based photography in contemporary art. Face On brings together the fascinating and difficult work of European and American artists who use lens based media to establish a relationship with the subjects they represent. Mostly drawn from the 1990s and part of a post-theory climate, the works while rooted in realist and documentary problematics, are more concerned with the difficulties of relaying the experiences of lived social realities.
