《埃里克·凯塞尔斯的多重创作生涯》作为这位先驱性人物首部图文综览，呈现了其作为策展人、编辑与艺术家的多元实践。凯塞尔斯通过对摄影及影像档案的多样实验，让我们在当代图像泛滥的语境下重新审视摄影的日常叙事潜能。"人们只是在消费照片，"凯塞尔斯指出，"却不再真正观看。"

本书堪称一部"观看指南"，引领读者深入解读这位难以被归类的艺术家的混合创作实践。全书收录二十余个代表作系列，并收录西蒙·贝克、汉斯·阿尔斯曼及策展人弗朗切斯科·扎诺特的评论文章。该书的出版恰逢都灵意大利摄影中心为其举办中期创作回顾展，共同见证这位影像革新者的艺术旅程。

The Many Lives of Erik Kessels presents the highly anticipated first illustrated survey of this pioneering and influential curator, editor, and artist whose varied experiments with photography and photographic archives have allowed us to reconsider the medium’s vernacular and narrative possibilities in today’s inundated image landscape. “People consume photographs,” says Kessels, “they don’t look at them anymore.”

This volume is a primer on how to look—and how to better understand the hybrid practice of this artist who defies categorization. Including more than twenty of the artist’s series and features essays by Simon Baker, Hans Aarsman, and curator Francesco Zanot, The Many Lives of Erik Kessels is published in conjunction with a major mid-career retrospective at Camera: Italian Centre for Photography in Turin, Italy.
