Description
The Ongoing Moment is a unique and idiosyncratic history of photography that challenges our way of seeing the world. Geoff Dyer's characteristic perversity and originality shine through in this non-fiction work of art, as he explores how canonical figures such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Kertesz, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus and William Eggleston have photographed the same scenes and objects.
By examining the ways these photographers approached their subjects, Dyer constructs a narrative that brings together individuals who never met in life. This ambitious work is a testament to Dyer's distinctive form of writing, one that blends art and non-fiction in innovative ways.
The result is a thought-provoking exploration of photography as both an art form and a way of observing the world around us.
