Description
Focusing on a wide range of photographic displays and museum installations as well as films such as 'Shoah' and 'Schindler's List', Liss questions the role of photography as social practice. She analyses the transformations that documentary and more intimate photographs undergo as they are mediated through contemporary exhibition techniques, both at the institutional level of the USHMM and in the hands of contemporary artists and photographers
