Writing – in the form of both criticism and theory – has been an integral part of Jeff Wall’s work, complementing a corpus of photography that began to form in 1978. His first text comes from 1981, and he still writes today. On the peripheral scene of Vancouver (British Columbia), Wall sought to combine a rather literary approach to what is known as concept art with the practice of screenplay writing. Both in his photography and in his texts, this way of doing things coexists alongside constant, open reflection on the history of the ‘pictorial’ tradition and of critical thinking.

This book brings together sixteen texts, essays and interviews with internationally renowned personalities from the art world. Edited by Jean-François Chevrier, the leading expert in Wall’s work, it includes seven texts that have never before been translated into Spanish, as well as other, out-of-print pieces of writing.
