Recent decades have seen a flourishing interest in and speculation about the origins of photography. Spurred by rediscoveries of ‘first’ photographs and proclamations of photography’s death in the digital age, scholars have been rethinking who and what invented the medium. This book reflects on this interest in photography’s beginnings by reframing it in critical and specifically historiographical terms.
The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture
Edited by Frances Guerin
On Not Looking: The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture focuses on the image, and our relationship to it, as a site of "not looking." The collection demonstrates that even though we live in an image-saturated culture, many images do not look at what they claim, viewers oftentimes do not look at the images, and in other cases, we are encouraged by the context of exhibition not to look at images.
