Foam Magazine #21 / MERGE / Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin

Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin have collaborated for over a decade during which time they have exhibited widely and have produced six monographs which all test the limits of documentary photography; Trust (2000); Ghetto (2003); Mr Mkhize’s Portrait(2004); Chicago (2006), Fig (2007), and The Red House (2007). Their next book, So This is Life, is a collaboration with the writer John Berger and is to be published in the Spring of 2010.

Their latest project Afterlife, is an investigation and  a de-construction of an iconic image taken in 1979 that came to define a moment  in both Iranian and photographic history.
