Quotes by François Laruelle (?)

“A good description of photography necessitates that one treat it as an essence unto itself; not as an event either of the World or of philosophy, or as a syncretic sub-product of modern science and technology; that one recognize the existence, not just of a photographic art, but of an authentic photographic thought; the existence, beyond the components of technology and image production, of a certain specific relation to the real, one which knows itself as such.”
― François Laruelle, The Concept of Non-Photography

“NP's initial project was to serialize the standard tonality of the philosophical scale- to treat all of its pitches equally, as parameters or variables, so as to make heard a music other than the classical”
― François Laruelle, Anti-Badiou: The Introduction of Maoism Into Philosophy
