Failed Images: Photography And Its Counter-Practices
Edited by Ernst van Alphen, âFailed Imagesâ attempts to understand the divergence between photography and the reality it portrays, analysing the various ways the photograph transforms that which exists before the camera. Because the photographic medium enables very different practices, which in turn results in many kinds of images, it must also be examined from a perspective outside of the dominant approach to the medium, generally called the âsnapshotâ. This book therefore explores the photographic image by focusing on practices which refuse this conventional approach, namely staged, blurred, under- and overexposed, and archival photography. Thanks to Valiz (Amsterdam).Â
