_platon's republic is a window onto today's media-led culture that bombards and overwhelms us with images of worldwide importance juxtaposed with moments of extreme frivolity _the same intense and sometimes surreal experience is replicated here, with portraits of al pacino, david beckham, bill clinton, pamela anderson, john prescott and leonard cohen, as well as documentary photographs including jesse jackson and biancajagger demonstrating against the death penalty, and strippers at work in new york _a personal scrapbook of behind-the-scenes anecdotes gives an illuminating and revealing insight into the shoots and platon's relationship with his sitters _in an undeniably media-saturated climate overcrowded with the superficial as well as the authoritative, platon's republic holds a mirror up to contemporary culture, and presents a clear and unparalleled cross section of controversy, fame and power Vissza
