A NEW PANOPTICON

ORDER by Óscar Monzón

RVB BooksMay 2021Selected by TANK

The urban scenes in ORDER, the latest book from Spanish photographer Óscar Monzón, are instantly recognisable as our own. Who has not been distracted by flashing billboards or glimpses of advertisements in the various reflective surfaces of our shiny, chrome-finished cities? Through a series of busy urban vignettes, Monzón depicts a world which is forever reflecting back on itself, creating a dizzying mise en abyme of hyper-consumerism.
