Monograph: We Others by Donna Gottschalk

Book cover

First monograph dedicated to Donna Gottschalk, WE OTHERS brings together a previously unseen selection of her photographs taken between the 1960s and 1990s.

The photographer’s journey unfolds alongside the intimate narrative of Hélène Giannecchini, with literature extending the gesture of photography. Portraits of loved ones, scenes of activist life, everyday places — the book documents a queer, social, and personal history of the United States, from the rooftops of Alphabet City to the beaches of California.

The collection is completed by a selection of archival materials as well as previously unpublished essays by Julie Héraut and Carla Williams.
