About

This is a revised edition of Jem Southam's iconic 1989 publication the Red River. The book contains 50 remastered images and revised texts, with a new afterword by Southam.

"The work is divided into seven parts. These bear no relation to
any geographic, social or cultural divisions along the river but rather serve as a structure for realising a further ambition within the work – to reflect on a succession of myths concerning the history of our perception of the landscape which surround us."
