Mark Peterson: Political Theatre

How did we get here? What do we do now? Featured image is reproduced from Mark Peterson: Political Theatre, a TIME magazine best photobook of 2016, a critic's pick at The New Yorker and Huffington Post, and certainly one of the best photographic records of an election cycle, ever. John Heilemann writes, "Peterson presents the drama and comedy, the transparent fakery and moments of accidental authenticity, and the abject chaos that has transfixed and often mortified anyone paying attention… Peterson has given us an indispensable record of an election at once more raw, divisive and shot through with a sense of desperation—and perhaps, for good or ill, more lastingly consequential—than any in our lifetime."
