"A provocative collection that demonstrates how images, when we take the time to work with them, transform our understanding of time, movement, and the messy complexity of our involvement in the world around us. - Mark Edmonds, Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at the University of York, UKThis rich and intriguing collection charts the new intersectional field of visual archaeology across its key concepts of transition and duration, offering both substantive case studies and new methodologies. At stake is an understanding of photography as the mediation of everyday life in a time where nothing is quotidian. - Nicholas Mirzoeff, Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University, USA"
