Coming from a background in conceptual art, and like many of his generation politicised by the Vietnam War, he has gone on to substantially extend the repertoire of documentary photography. In his practice Sekula has consistently addressed questions of class and the conditions of labour, in tandem with a spirited and rigorous critique of contemporary capitalism. His work avoids the heroic, favouring instead sequences of images which plot complex economic and social processes. During his career, Sekula has repeatedly returned to the theme of maritime space, through a number of interrelated books, films and exhibitions including \u003cem\u003eFish Story\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTITANIC\u0026rsquo;s wake\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;and \u003cem\u003eLottery of the Sea\u003c/em\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026deg;1951 (Erie, Pennsylvania, US) -\u0026nbsp;\u0026dagger;2013 (Los Angeles, US)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAllan Sekula werkte hoofdzakelijk met fotografie maar wordt ook algemeen erkend als cineast, schrijver, leraar en activist. Vanuit zijn achtergrond in de conceptuele kunst, en politiek bewust geworden door de oorlog in Vietnam, heeft hij het repertoire van de documentaire fotografie substantieel verrijkt. In zijn werk behandelt Sekula consequent thema\u0026rsquo;s zoals klasse en werkomstandigheden, gecombineerd met een vurige en scherpe kritiek op het hedendaagse kapitalisme. Zijn werk vermijdt het hero\u0026iuml;sche en geeft de voorkeur aan beeldenreeksen die complexe economische en sociale processen voorstellen. In zijn carri\u0026egrave;re greep Sekula herhaaldelijk terug naar het thema van de maritieme ruimte aan de hand van boeken, films en tentoonstellingen, waaronder \u003cem\u003eFish Story\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTITANIC\u0026rsquo;s wake\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;en\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eLottery of the Sea\u003c/em\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026deg;1951 (Erie, Pensilvania, EE.UU.) -\u0026nbsp;\u0026dagger;2013 (Los \u0026Aacute;ngeles, EE.UU.)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAllan Sekula se dedic\u0026oacute; principalmente a la fotograf\u0026iacute;a, pero tambi\u0026eacute;n es ampliamente conocido por sus facetas de cineasta, escritor, profesor y activista.
