Faking Death

CA

'"How refreshing to stumble on Penny Cousineau-Levine's wonderful Faking Death, a thorough and entertaining study of that least (or, until I read this book, formerly least) entertaining subject, Canadian high art photography ... In a handful of lucid, cleanly written chapters, each dappled with enough well-researched and perfectly placed examples and samples to choke a national museum, Cousineau-Levine convincingly charts a cohesive strategy for reading Canadian art photography as both peculiar, indeed delicious cultural phenomenon and an exciting, internationally valuable achievement." R.M. Vaughan, National Post "The narratives of displacement, dislocation, ambivalence and fear that haunt Couineau-Levine's text are productive and pertinent tools with which to begin unpacking the intended and subconscious meanings of contemporary art photography."--The Art Book, September 2004
