Players: Magnum Photographers Come Out to Play - Hardcover

by Christina De Middel (Editor), Martin Parr (Editor), Andréa Holzherr (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Revolving around the theme of play and playfulness, this book presents images by Magnum photographers that overtly exhibit a ludic quality in their works, either because they play with the photographic medium itself or because they literally depict fun and leisure. These range from Cristina Garc a Rodero's black-and-white images of children playing to Bruno Barbey's photograph of a boy seemingly cycling underwater. Accompanying an exhibition being staged as part of the Festival PHotoEspa a 2018, this handsomely produced book also includes works by Ian Berry, Bruce Davidson, Raymond Depardon, Carolyn Drake, Elliott Erwitt, Bruce Gilden, Burt Glinn, Jim Goldberg, Harry Gruyaert, David Hurn, Susan Meiselas, Martin Parr, Paolo Pellegrin, Marc Riboud, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Alec Soth, Mikhael Subotzky, Alex Webb and Patrick Zachmann, among many others.
