Summary:
Called “America’s playground,” Coney Island is a world-famous resort and national cultural symbol that has inspired music, literature, and films. This groundbreaking book is the first to look at the site’s enduring status as inspiration for artists throughout the ages, from its inception as an elite seaside resort in the mid-19th century, to its evolution into an entertainment mecca for the masses, with the eventual closing of its iconic amusement park, Astroland, in 2008 after decades of urban decline. How artists chose to portray Coney Island between 1861 and 2008—in tableaux of wonder and menace, hope and despair, dreams and nightmares—mirrored the aspirations and disappointments of the era.

Images à charge, la construction de la preuve par l'image, livre de l'exposition éponyme, présente, à travers dix cas, comment par l'élaboration d'un protocole l'image se construit pour devenir preuve. Des méthodes de prises de vue scientifiques mises au point par Alphonse Bertillon, criminologue travaillant pour la Préfecture de police de Paris à la fin du XIXe siècle, aux premières images aériennes du front réalisées par l'armée durant la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu'aux clichés permettant d'identifier les victimes de la Grande Purge de Staline, la photographie depuis plus de 150 ans sert de preuve, témoigne du crime : elle atteste d'une certaine réalité et tend ainsi à rendre une vérité.
