This review is from: Spectral Evidence: The Photography of Trauma (Paperback)
This book is suggestive rather than having a strong argument. The structure is a little eccentric: photographs of hysteria are analysed in one chapter, while the rest of the book considers photographs about the holocaust. There's little engagement with other books on the topic of holocaust imagery such as the work of Didi-Huberman, Lisa Saltzman and Barbie Zelizer. On the other hand, the book does raises some interesting issues about hysteria and the camera and examines some interesting photographic projects about the Holocaust. On the whole, the writer does not handle images well, although the discussion of landscape is quite nuanced. My feeling is the book needed another draft and deeper thinking, nonetheless it is provocative and well worth reading.
