Description

Explore the strange and alluring power of the photographic medium in What Photography Is by James Elkins. Published by Routledge, this work follows the provocative and evocative style found in Elkins' best-selling book, What Painting Is. Through an extended imaginary dialogue with Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, Elkins examines the unique nature of photography. He explores how the medium can represent meaninglessness by showing things we do not want or need to see. The book also addresses the emotional weight of photography, discussing how powerful images can cause pain and sear themselves into our consciousness. This book is extensively illustrated with a surprising range of images, making it a deep study for anyone interested in the philosophy and impact of visual media. It offers a unique perspective on how photography functions as both an art form and a way of perceiving the world around us.
