Staring Back

The book features 200 black-and-white photographs from Chris Marker's extensive personal archives, spanning from 1952 to 2006. It showcases images related to his renowned films, portraits of iconic figures, and candid shots of everyday people encountered during his travels. A significant section documents political protests, including the 1967 Pentagon march and the 2006 demonstrations in France. Accompanying the photographs are unpublished texts and annotations by Marker, along with essays by curator Bill Horrigan and art historian Molly Nesbit, enriching the visual experience.
