Spotlight: The IMC Books series
The IMC Books series—copublished by the MIT Press and The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University—reaches a milestone this spring with the publication of its sixth book, Facing Black Star. The book explores TMU’s Black Star Collection, a collection of hundreds of thousands of black-and-white photographs recently acquired by the university. Alongside the 100 images featured in the book, Facing Black Star investigates photography theory and history, the role of photographic archives, and the photograph as a medium.
The series, launched in 2016 and edited by TMU Associate Professor and The Image Centre Head of Research Thierry Gervais, is dedicated to scholarly research on the history and theory of photography. The books appeal to academics of visual history and photography enthusiasts alike.
