Illustrated by a range of work by artists including Cornelia Parker, Wolfgang Tillmans, David Shrigley, Tacita Dean and Jeremy Deller as well as the satirists Cold War Steve and Led By Donkeys, this book explores the role of the photograph in the ongoing consequences of Britain’ s decision to leave the EU. From Jeremy Deller’ s image of musicians protesting outside the House of Commons, through to Mark Duffy’ s extraordinary photos of heated government debates, to moving portraits of those whose lives have been changed immeasurably, this offers insight into our society and how artists can intervene in political debate. It offers an original, visually stimulating examination of the issues, revealing how photography can capture and memorialise key moments in our history.
