BOP 26 Artist Talk / Christopher Anderson
Advertisement
Photographer Christopher Anderson joins us at BOP 26 to talk about his new photobook, INDEX, published by Stanley Barker, 2026. This new book brings together a collection of eleven series from across Christopher’s career, spanning conflict zones, presidential campaigns, near-death experiences, and moments of quiet domestic tenderness.
Each series is presented in a different volume, from his early images in Afghanistan, where he was working as a journalist on 9/11 and continued to document events through the span of the second Gulf War, to his work in Haiti, where he boarded a wooden boat with hopeful migrants bound for America until it began to sink.
'I suppose, from the outside, it looks as if I stopped being one kind of photographer to become another. To me, the same photographer who boarded a boat with Haitians trying to sail to America showed up to photograph Trump’s inner circle in the West Wing… continual points on a spectrum, colors bleeding together in the rainbow. The previous works inform and shape the photographs that follow'. - Christopher Anderson
Collectively, the volumes in INDEX chart the defining events and fleeting intimacies that shaped the first decades of the millennium.
Christopher will give an overview of this publication sharing many images from throughout his career, followed by questions from the floor and a book signing.
