Reviews
'Utterly captivating' - Sunday Telegraph
'A wonderful selection of images ... a great anthology. But combined with the brilliant text that accompanies it we are taken through a maze of ideas that investigates the powerful psychological depths which visual language can reach. ... lovingly curated with great verve and I'm sure will become an instant classic, to be treasured for many years to come' - For London Independent Photography
'Incredible ... tactile and imaginative with depth and emotion' - Hotshoe International
'Put together with exquisite taste ... a seductive text in the form of personal-sounding notes [that] make browsing the book a compelling experience ... This is a book of stillnesses and depths that doesn't takes its readers for fools ... a wonderful book' - The Art Newspaper
'Elegant ... seductive ... an interesting balance of familiar and unexpected pictures contributes to new readings ... the alternation between the historical and the contemporary, and the mix and match are immensly graceful and fun ... The commentaries, all by Hunt, are remarkable' - Photography & Culture
