    True Fictions: Visionary Photography from the 70s to the Present

    Guadagnini, Walter, True Fictions: Visionary Photography from the 70s to the Present, Silvana, 2021 Abstract Il volume è dedicato al fenomeno della staged photography, la tendenza che a partire dagli anni ottanta ha rivoluzionato il linguaggio fotografico. Attraverso oltre cento opere, il volume racconta come la fotografia abbia saputo raggiungere tra la fine del XX e gli inizi del XXI secolo vertici di fantasia e di invenzione prima affidate quasi esclusivamente al cinema e alla pittura. Pesci rossi che invadono le stanze, cascate di ghiaccio nei deserti, città inventate, Marilyn Monroe e Lady D. che fanno la spesa insieme: tutto questo può accadere grazie a veri e propri set cinematografici…

    Still Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance

    Barnden, Sally, Still Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 2019 Abstract Still Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance examines the place of photography in the reception of the Shakespeare canon since the invention of the camera, looking at how photographic images have shaped perceptions of historicity, performance, and Shakespearean character, and how their dissemination has affected Shakespearean authority. Barnden reveals how photography has conditioned the reception of Shakespeare’s works in two key ways. Firstly, as a form of performance documentation, photographs shape the way individual performances are remembered and their positioning in relation to traditional and iconoclastic interpretations of the text. Secondly, photographs are vehicles of Shakespearean…

    Marsh, Anne, The darkroom : photography and the theatre of desire, Macmillan, Melbourne 2003 Abstract Anne Marsh’s treatise on the art of photography traces its theoretical underpinning from the early debates between the rationalists and the fantasists, through psychoanalytical interpretations, to the theatre of desire.

    Image Photograph

    Lafia, Marc, Image Photograph, punctum books, Brooklyn, NY 2015 Abstract We no longer live in the society of the spectacle, passively seeing the world. Now we perform our very own spectacle in a society that demands it at every turn. We’ve become advertisements of ourselves, our own PR agents, continually putting on a performance and measuring it hour by hour. This is no longer the society of the spectacle but the society of performance. All events have become a pretense to create the image, to orchestrate an image of images that is us. We believe the image confers on us a kind of immortality: just as the artist believes her…
