Considers the life and work of Chilean-born artist and architect Alfredo Jaar b. 1956. "An architect interested in ephemeral structures a photographer who has grown increasingly suspicious of pictures Alfredo Jaar's most telling gesture is to relinquish the camera by placing it figuratively and sometimes literally in the public's hands.

Jaar's work declares that daring to connect and participate is our last best hope." back cover. Charta paperback books
