Gail Rebhan’s *About Time*, published by MACK in 2023, presents a retrospective view of an image-making practice shaped by sequence, repetition and political observation. Its roots reach back to the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, where Rebhan met Sally Stein in the 1980s. Their shared interest in feminism and in critical, often comic ways of seeing eventually led to this collaboration: Stein serves as guest curator and editor, while Rebhan’s photographs and text-image works form the book’s subject.

The publication follows Rebhan’s artistic development from early serial snapshots of domestic routines to broader investigations of gentrification and inequality in Washington, DC. These are not photographs treated as isolated, silent moments. Repetition becomes a means of registering labour, habit and social change; text enters the image as an active graphic and interpretive element. Stein’s commentary, described by the publisher as incisive and often humorous, gives the retrospective a connective structure while keeping its political tensions in view.

The final section turns inward, examining the marks of time on Rebhan’s own body and the particular fears of ageing that women are taught to carry. This movement—from domestic repetition, through the pressures shaping a city, to the body as a historical surface—makes the book more than a chronological survey. It identifies time as the persistent subject linking Rebhan’s formal experiments and social concerns, while showing how humour can sharpen rather than soften critique.

At 144 pages in paperback, *About Time* deserves attention as a focused record of an artist who has consistently resisted photography’s conventional association with stillness. For collectors, its interest lies in the dialogue between Rebhan’s serial and text-based work and Stein’s historically informed editorial voice: a collaboration that frames photography as something unfolding, changing and politically alive.
