Drawing as much from the techniques of photojournalism and the poetics of the New Novel as from the aesthetics of fine art, the photographs of Sophie Ristelhueber convey a world at once intensely personal and objectively restrained. Her camera embraces the scars of human existence, whether the devastation of a war-torn landscape, the furrows of a suture, or the hidden wounds of remembered childhood, conferring on each a personal resonance that echoes far beyond the events portrayed. Details of the World offers the first comprehensive overview of Ristelhueber's career, presenting a selection from all her major installations as well as previously unpublished recent work. She has also worked closely on the book's design, making it t only the best anthology of her images, but also an art object in and of itself.
