Assembled from a wide range of archival materials — a “terrorist letter,” G.I. photographs from Vietnam, Sylvania flashcube advertisements, as well as Long’s photographs and photomontages—the book explores the links between light, war, history and photography. Apart from its circulation as a novelty item online, the flashcube is largely forgotten. The history of photographic flash is also often relegated to a footnote and is strikingly under-analyzed. Yet flash’s blinding effects and military genealogy, and the flashcube’s precise contemporaneity with the war in Vietnam make this a rich analytical object with which to reflect on the cultural, political and economic imperatives of its moment.PhotographyVernacular photographyArtists' booksElectronic flash photographyartist bookexhibition catalogphotographyhistory of photographyPhotography.Vernacular photography.Artists' books.Electronic flash photography.Long Marget802550PQKBUkMaJRU9910140252803321Flash + Cube (1965-1975)1803873UNINA
