How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.
Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as a memorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or to identify us. In six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives.

评分摄影发明之初,似乎并不如我们所想象的那样迅速为大众所接受。这项源自法国的技术传到德国时,带给人们的大都是颇为恐慌的心理体验。比如当时的《莱布尼茨报》就认为应该对抗这项来自法国的恶魔技艺:“要将浮动短暂的镜像固定住是不可能的事,非但如此,单是想留住影像,就等...

评分2008年,汶川地震一个月之后,我的朋友杨怡从成都来北京,费了老劲,送我一张装裱好的巨幅照片。我专门定制了一个位置,把它挂在读易洞入口的正前方。现在我已经把它挪回家里,挂在了餐桌边的墙上。 我当时在照片下面手写了一段说明: 白马 —— 摄影/杨怡 5月19日下午六点左右...

评分终于读完了,还要再读好多遍。最醍醐灌顶的可能是桑塔格把影像和语言的比拟,并不是所有语言的都是艺术,影像也服从于实用功能。//是Photographic seeing让我以为没有一张坏照片,只有人类的坏品味存在。
