Reviews

I've long been fascinated by Zolf's project-based work, something that has become more overt as she continues to publish, utilized to examine human interaction, and a variety of social and cultural histories. Zolf might utilize external means to produce work, but her concerns are deeply human, from the intimate to the professional to the historical, and the dark elements that so often are deliberately set aside. ... This book exists as both an impressive overview of Zolf's ongoing work, and a wonderful introduction to what she's accomplished so far, much of which, I would argue, hasn't received the attention it so clearly deserves. -- rob mclennan -- 20190609
