Matthew Connors & Nicholas Muellner: Axes and Allegories [Talk & signing]

What can an image do when the world it depicts is breaking apart? Photographer Matthew Connors and writer-photographer Nicholas Muellner approach this question from different ends in two new publications. In The Axe Will Survive the Master, Connors assembles twelve years of photographs made from North Korea to Hong Kong to Ukraine. In Love in a Time of Allegory, Muellner delivers a textual-visual essay that calls for abandoning realism in favor of allegory, fiction, and the radical act of closing one's eyes to see. Together, these two new titles and their authors will bring into dialogue documentary witness and speculative thought, then broaching questions of photography, meaning, and survival in an era of image saturation and political collapse.
