Linda Fregni Nagler - Anger, Pleasure, Fear

Linda Fregni Nagler has spent 20 years researching photography as both a material and speculative object. Since her earliest projects, she has focused on early, anonymous, and vernacular photography. She selects, studies, collects, and catalogues photographic objects according to a personal logic, reproducing them at different scales and drawing attention to marginal or hidden details within each image. This book presents works from different series, often distant in time, that collectively restore a history of the gaze. It features around 100 photographic reproductions, alongside texts by various writers and a conversation between the artist and Federico Nicolao.
