'Vik Muniz on Photography, Mind, and Matter' Now Available from Aperture


Sikkema Malloy Jenkins is pleased to announce Vik Muniz on Photography, Mind, and Matter, now available from Aperture.

In this volume of The Photography Workshop Series, Vik Muniz—known for his playful pictures that complicate what is understood as a photograph, sculpture, or painting—offers his insight into thinking creatively and seeing the familiar in new and surprising ways.

Aperture works with the world’s top photographers to distill their creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography—offering the workshop experience in a book. Through images and words, Muniz shares his creative practice and discusses a wide range of topics, from generating ideas and creating artworks that challenge viewers’ perceptions, to thinking through collaboration, imperfection, and the interplay of subject, scale, and material.

Vik Muniz on Photography, Mind, and Matter is published by Aperture, and features an introduction by artist Lucas Blalock.
