ABSTRACT

A few years ago, in a book about the ‘objects’ of architecture, Jean Baudrillard made the following cryptic remarks about photography:

The great majority of images are no longer the expression of a subject, or the reality of an object, but almost exclusively the technical fullment of (photography’s) intrinsic possibilities. It’s the photographic medium that does all the work. People think they’re photographing a scene, but they’re only technical operators of the device’s innite virtuality.
