Murat Nemet-Nejat – Peripheral Space of Photography
Only 1 left in stock
$8.00
This profound essay explores what separates photography from other artistic media. Murat Nemet-Nejat argues that photographic seeing is not a plastic experience, but a meditative one built around a relationship between image and words. Through a critique of photographs in a 1993 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Waking Dream: Photography’s First Century, he shows repeatedly how the focal points in photographs are often their mistakes (blurs, over- or underexposures, etc.) and, spatially, exist in their peripheries.
Book is in “Like New” condition. Some light superficial wear and/or remainder mark might be present.
