Sunday Salon - Jeff Wall

Today's Sunday Salon brings us the work of Jeff Wall, who photographs staged scenes in large format - making for giant illuminated "lightbox" prints.
Wall, a Canadian born in 1946, is less interested in photography than he is in art. Photography is just the medium he happens to work in. He studied art and art history at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. He teaches art. He’s an academic as well as an artist. Among the things that means is that he approaches his work from a different perspective than most of us. He approaches his work rather like a painter. He has the picture in his head before he actually creates it.
Greg Fallis gives us an insightful analysis of Wall's work, particularly as it relates to the nature of the documentary image.
Read all about it, and join the discussion.
It'll be the best two cents you've spent today.
