Editorial Reviews

Review

There are no photographs which can be denied. All photographs have the status of fact. What is to be examined is in what way photography can and cannot give meaning to facts." With these words, two of our most thoughtful and eloquent interrogators of the visual offer a singular meditation on the ambiguities of what is seemingly our most straightforward art form.

As constructed by John Berger and the renowned Swiss photographer Jean Mohr, that theory includes images as well as words; not only analysis, but anecdote and memoir. Another Way of Telling explores the tension between the photographer and the photographed, between the picture and its viewers, between the filmed moment and the memories that it so resembles. Combining the moral vision of the critic and the practical engagement of the photographer, Berger and Mohr have produced a work that expands the frontiers of criticism first charged by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Susan Sontag.

"One of the world's most influential art, critics ... Berger sees clearly with fresh surprise yet profound understanding." -- Washington Times

3.0 out of 5 stars John Berger does it again!, April 12, 2000
By Khush (Toronto, Ont.) - See all my reviews
Berger's theories in this book are very complex but he supports his ideas well. The novel is structured in a very opinionated way. I feel that if he had been less critical about other artists then the book would have been more engaging. Berger is over-confident in his abilities of perception. He tries to engage the reader to deep in his thoughts. It makes it more confusing. Another strange book to read of his is Ways of Seeing. It has a good meaning however I don't like the unpleasent images. John Berger is a very "weird" & unique author.
