Questioning the Image / Interrogando a Imagem
Moving Stills - Photography, Photographers and Documentary Film
Images detached from every aspect of life merge into a common stream, and the former unity of life is lost forever. The tendency toward the specialization of images-of-the-world finds its highest expression in the world of the autonomous image, where deceit deceives itself. The spectacle in its generality is a concrete inversion of life, and, as such the autonomous movement of non-life.
