Vik Muniz: Reflex: A Vik Muniz Primer

Innovative and playful, Muniz is equally at home working with images of chocolate sauce, spaghetti marinara, or the detritus of hole punchers. In doing so, he has carved out a unique niche within contemporary photography: one of trickster and philosopher as well as the creator of compelling, delightful images. From "Equivalents," his fluffy, sculpted cotton "clouds," to his latest color work, "Magazines," Muniz accompanies each series with in-depth writing that tickles our minds with amusing anecdotes detailing his inspiration for each; fascinates by revealing his methodology and working process; and enlightens by unveiling the thinking and historical influences behind each image.
