Theory
The art of interruption : realism, photography, and the everyday
Roberts examines the relationship between photography and art to show that the philosophical and aesthetic categories of the 'everyday' and 'realism' are not just categories of convenience but the means by which photography orients itself to the world.
'Cities and Photography' discusses the relationship between people and the city, visualised in photographs. It explores how photographs display attitudes, agency and vision in the way a city is documented and imagined. It provides a visually focused examination of the city and urbanism for a range of different disciplines.
