At Face Value and Beyond : Photographic Constructions of Reality PDF
by Monika Schwarzler
Part of the Image series
Description
How to account for the peculiar attraction of certain photos?
How to deal with the specific use of images in particular contexts?
Monika Schwärzler presents a variety of photographic case studies exploring visual phenomena from the point of view of media analysis as well as from sociological, aesthetic, and psychoanalytic perspectives.
The topics range from a new reading of Thomas Struth's street photographs to CERN photos with their charged rhetoric, from the assault of photographic close-ups to speculations on an anonymous slide collection featuring a woman with an ever-present white handbag.
The book is intended for an audience receptive to the analytical appeal of images, prepared to go beyond what can be taken at face value.
