Strangers The First ICP Triennial of Photography and Video

Presenting the works of forty contemporary artists from around the world, Strangers: The First ICP Triennial of Photography and Video explores the different roles that photography now plays in negotiating the boundaries between trust and fear, intimacy and isolation, and public and private life. Accompanying a major exhibition organized by the International Center of Photography in New York, Strangers investigates, as well, the social consequences of globalization through images emanating from encounters between people unknown to one another. Strangers includes original essays. There are, in addition, illuminating commentaries on each of the artists, and reproductions of approximately 200 works in a variety of mediums, from traditional photographic processes and to multimedia installations and video. Among the artists included in the exhibition are Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, Luc Delahaye, David Goldblatt, Bill Henson, Chien-Chi Chang, Susan Meiselas, Harun Farocki, and Shirin Neshat.
