The book "The Need to Document" attempts to make out the backgrounds leading to the turn towards documentation, as well as the thematic focuses and concerns associated with this new documentary stance. The interests of these documentary working methods in art remain reflectively close to the inherent laws of all known documentary channels, but additionally assert their own special features and logic.
