This book examines the role of visual documents in contemporary art, looking at artworks which value these not only as sources of information, but also as distinctive visual and critical forms. As such, they offer a way to develop critical reflection around issues of representation, knowledge production, art and its history: the role of the museum and archive, the role of documents and our trust in them, the circulation of such images and the historical genealogies that can be drawn in relation to images.
