Born in 1951 in Erie (Pennsylvania, USA) and died in Los Angeles (USA) in 2013.
American artist, writer and filmmaker, Allan Sekula is a leading exemplar of socially probing art, photographic and cultural practice. Starting his career with actions and performance art during the era of protests against the U.S. war in S.E. Asia, his work then turned in the early 70’s, towards a practice of social documentary while always questioning the limits of photography’s capacity for clear and reliable communication.
