ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on what Francois Laruelle calls the rigorous fiction of the photo and non-standard philosophy and why he calls photo-fiction a new genre. It discusses what non-photography and later on photo-fiction strive to provide as non-standard aesthetics is to mimic in a discursive manner the miming of the photographic practice and flash of identity of the in-photo and how it can be applied as a non-standard aesthetic practice of non-standard philosophy. The chapter also discusses the concept of non-photography and photo-fiction in regards to Laruelle's preoccupation with the flashes of philosophy and non-philosophy. Photo-fiction is a genre. The affirmative poetic nature of the "non" of non-philosophy turned non-standard philosophy as a theoretical performative practice is also what Laruelle calls a thought in-action. The nowhen of uchronia and the nowhere of utopia comprised with uchromia provide us with a manner of striving to understand the contemporaneous temporality and spatiality of the poet.
