photography is….?
Written by Ciara Leeming
“Photography Is presents more than 3,000 phrases that define one of the most democratic and ubiquitous of all art forms. Mirroring the ambiguous and untrustworthy nature of photographs themselves, each phrase in this book has been torn from the context in which it originally appeared. The result is contradictory and chaotic, frustrating and insightful. In short, it is photography, without photographs. This book was made after I began to question my own role as a photographer in an age when everyone is either taking, looking at, or talking about photographs….”
