Am trying to find out more about this work. I am particularly interested in Martins’ ability to mix archival and original photography as well as text. Looking for as much exposure to this work as possible – if anyone has the book, I’d love to take a look at it.
Having only seen the work online so far, I am so impressed by its power and focus. I am also interested in the range of forms – still gallery prints, videos, book, interviews, talks – utilising every way possible to convey information.
Noted Virilio’s comments on death and reminded of Wegee https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/weegee
Will keep investigating.

Some useful links from Doug – Martins talks about relevant ideas (uncertainty principle – although important to recall Barad opts for indeterminacy over uncertainty as interpreted by Bohr)
Colberg reprints Martins’ response to NYT withdrawing his images – ‘As fraught and as contradictory as much of the information being portrayed often is, it reveals a polymorphic and multiform reality, a world of flux and flow that is in a perpetual state of uncertain transformation and where the constant search for answers only leads to more questions.’ (Colberg, 2009) Martins alludes to entanglement as the housing crisis and the issue of ‘reality’ in photography intersect in this episode.

His work is quite amazing. Also lead me to thinking about Sally Mann and ‘The Body Farm’.

Fascinating work which also lead me on to think about Sally Mann’s work on ‘The Body Farm’.
