Beyond memory

the long version

"Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-two contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet nonconformist art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture."--BOOK JACKET.
