Summary |
"photography is in a phase of change in which an altered conception of the documentary factor is emerging. It is not so much a matter of the portrayal or representation of reality, but rather of an artistically well-grounded idea of the world. ... Thomas Weski ... [distinguishes] between the photgraphic images as pure documentation and photography as a form of testimony." Book jacket |
