The essays in More than One examine sequentiality and serialism in the
practice of photography from the medium's earliest years to the present.
Contributors explore nuances of syntax and sense raised by works like
photographic albums, books, thematic portfolios, journalistic photo
features, and documentations of performance art.
Fully illustrated essays discuss, among other topics, the little-known
volume Beyond This Point (1929), a collaborative experiment by
American photographer Francis Bruguiere and London radio producer Lance
Sieveking; the evolving relationship between public space and sexual
self-definition in the early work of Minor White; and an important
performance work by artist Ana Mendieta. The title essay surveys the
social conditions and expressive motives that have given rise to serial
and sequential forms throughout the history of photography.
