A recipient of various awards and contributor to publications such as Life, Time, Geo, and the New York Times, Meiselas is a freelance American photographer whose work delves immediately into the subject without sensationalism. The Foundation based its choice on the following premise: “Susan Meiselas, one of the leading photographers in the humanistic-documentary tradition, has portrayed people in their struggle for social justice and human dignity, as seen in her powerful work from the revolutions of Nicaragua and El Salvador. In her photographs there is a tension in the interrelation between form and content.” A wonderful catalog highlighting examples of her most powerful work, published on occasion of her receipt of the renowned Hasselblad Prize in 1994.

This celebrated multimedia artist has long been an international success as she has participated in some fifty group exhibitions in 16 different countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Originating in photographic discourse, her artistic expression has evolved through different mixed-media forms before reaching today’s sculptural installations. Exhibited works include manipulated and enlarged black and white photographs from her own family album. The figures in her photographs are darkened, therefore becoming silhouettes which possess a disturbing anonymity. These dark, flat figures contrast sharply with the vinyl, air-filled figures of her more recent installations, though they seem to express a similar sense of emptiness. This book reveals the genius of this artist who has successfully found an array of materials and media that serve as poignant and powerful forms of expression.

The Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography 2000 has been awarded to Boris Mikhailov (Ukraine) on the grounds that he “is unquestionably the leading photographer with a ‘Soviet background’ today... At this point in his over thirty year long career, Boris Mikhailov continues to develop his great theme- his narrative of the wreck of the Soviet utopia.” Though the exhibition included work from his entire oeuvre, this catalogue depicts his photographs from a series entitled Dance, never previously published. Dance is a serene reflection on the distractions and pleasures of the Russian people in their strenuous everyday life. They whirl as they dance, seemingly carefree. Dance exudes optimism and humanism in difficult and demanding times.

The subject of his art is an attitude, a manner of seeing things and life around us clearly. In fact, his images convey a sense of unblinking clarity, more startling than reality itself. This characteristic is well-known in Scandinavia from his photographs of people in his native Finland. However, the photographs in this book which document the blurry borderlands between Mexico and Texas also remain completely faithful to the qualities of his previous work.
