Clare Harris, Photography and Tibet, London, Reaktion Books, 2016, 224 p.(...) This book is the first historical survey of photography in Tibet and the Himalayas, and it offers remarkable new insights into the attempts of both foreign and Tibetan photographers to document the region.Leading Tibetologist Clare Harris combines the results of extensive research in museums and archives with her own fieldwork in Tibetan communities to present material that has never been made public or discussed before. This includes the earliest known photographs taken in Tibet, dating to 1863, the experimental camerawork of senior Tibetan monks – including the 13th Dalai Lama – and the creations of contemporary Tibetan photographers and artists. With every image she examines the complex religious, political and cultural climate in which it was produced.Read the full textVoir aussi The Museum on the Roof of the World, Arts, Politics and the Representations of Tibet,Chicago and London : The University of Chicago Press, 2012, 1 vol.
