«Volte-Face» is the photography book by Joan Fontcuberta, published by Images en Manoeuvres Editions in paperback (117 pages, in French).
The book is based on the supposed discovery of mermaid fossils in Digne to reflect, with images and texts, on the construction of truth, representation and the limits of perception. Fontcuberta combines photography and writing in a poetic and unsettling project that questions systems of knowledge and revisits the role of science in history.
First edition published in 2000. Includes contributions by Nadine Gomez-Passamar, Joan Perucho, Lois Bec and Bernard Millet.
For readers interested in contemporary photography, art and the relationships between science and image.
Joan Fontcuberta is a Spanish conceptual artist and photographer whose best-known works, such as Fauna and Sputnik, examine the truthfulness of photography. In addition, he is a writer, editor, teacher, and curator.
