The story
Magnum photographer Alex Webb has developed a body of colour work in which planes, shadows and gestures overlap. His projects explore the Americas and border regions, among other places. His books, including The Suffering of Light, give sequencing an essential role. He also shares a publishing and teaching practice with Rebecca Norris Webb.
Understanding the work
Do not stop at the nearest subject. Explore the background and the edges of the frame: depth, colours and interactions construct several simultaneous narratives.
