On Photography - Susan Sontag by Susan Sontag
First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. Sontag here develops further the concept of transparency. When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being In Platos Cave, make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society., Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Release date: 02-09-2011
