Abstract
An account of Allan Sekula's book and exhibition Fish Story of 1995. A work of photographs and texts, Fish Story is perhaps the most important critical engagement with globalising capitalism to emerge from the art world during the 1990s. This essay situates Fish Story in the critical debates on documentary, explores Sekula's counter argument about globalisation; and considers the artists attempt to overcome the division between modernism and realism. With 5 black-and-white photographs.
