"From the abundance of Post-Modern photographic strategies currently in use this book focuses upon what is surely the most spectacular: the 'constructed' photograph. The term refers to works of photography in which the motif has been staged especially for the picture and in which the respective artist, in addition to his role as a photographer, also plays the part of director, stage and costume designer, make-up artist and from time to time of performer as well." -- [Quoted from the dw blurb].
