A new show at the Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto titled “Surveillance” seeks to answer that question, featuring photographs Kertesz, who died in 1985, made using telephoto lenses, or at times a telescope attached to his camera.

TIME LightBox presents a new monthly round-up of the best books, exhibitions and ways to experience photography beyond the web—from the Reportage Photography Festival in Sydney and a new Mitch Epstein book to Martin Parr’s ‘Life’s a Beach’ at Aperture in New York and an André Kertész show in London.
