If you find yourself drawn to the subtle dialogues between past and present in art, "The Ongoing Moment" is for you. Geoff Dyer compellingly intertwines the works of renowned photographers, inviting you into a visual conversation that spans decades. It's as much a feast for the imagination as it is a scholarly excursion into photography's heart. This book isn't just about the pictures; it's about connecting the dots in an endless gallery of time.

Description
Great photographs change the way we see the world; The Ongoing Moment changes the way we look at both. With characteristic perversity and trademark originality, The Ongoing Moment is Dyer's unique and idiosyncratic history of photography. Seeking to identify their signature styles, Dyer looks at the ways that canonical figures such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Kertesz, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, and William Eggleston have photographed the same scenes and objects (benches, hats, hands, roads). In doing so, Dyer constructs a narrative in which those photographers, many of whom never met in their lives, constantly come into contact with each other. It is the most ambitious example to date of a form of writing that Dyer has made his own: the non-fiction work of art.
