Juergen Staack: Expanded

This comprehensive monograph on German conceptual artist Juergen Staack asks: What is a (photographic) image, and what can it do?

For more than twenty years, Juergen Staack has been exploring the intersections of photography, conceptual art, performance, and language. Through numerous illustrations and texts, this volume traces how Staack's artistic practice expands the concepts, interpretations, and terminology of photography.

Questions of image production, representation, authorship, and the decay of media and photographic images stand at the center of Staack's work. He has a gift for making the conditions and limits of the medium itself the subject of his investigations. He links classical image production with performative situations and vividly demonstrates artistic counterstrategies to the feverish image production of the twenty-first century.
