The Many Lives of Erik Kessels 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 midcareer retrospective at CAMERACentro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin, Italy.
