Joel-Peter Witkin es un fotógrafo estadounidense cuyo trabajo a menudo explora temas de muerte, cadáveres y diversos inadaptados sociales. Sus complejas composiciones evocan frecuentemente episodios religiosos o pinturas clásicas icónicas. La distintiva visión artística de Witkin confronta al espectador con las desafiantes intersecciones de la vida, la muerte y lo inquietante.
Disciple & Master vereint Witkins Fotografien mit den Bildern, die sie inspirierten. Werke von Fotografen wie Charles Negre, Walker Evans, Horst und Cartier-Bresson werden mit Witkins fesselnden Visionen kombiniert. Der Text des Fotografen beleuchtet die komplexe Beziehung zwischen jedem Bildpaar.
