Employing a deconstructive technique inspired by Conceptual art and poststructuralist theory, the work of Sarah Charlesworth (b. 1947, East Orange, New Jersey) poses questions about photographic representation and the way history is reconstructed through photographs. In works such as "Herald Tribune: November 1977" (1977), for instance, she manipulated prints of newspaper pages to reveal how the news media can shape particular events, which in turn affect the opinions of the viewer.
