In Plato’s Cave

El primer ensayo de la serie que componen el libro establece una critica mordaz. La fotografía es un instrumento que reescribe la realidad, la ética y la política. Una cámara incrimina, informa, da un marco, viola y golpea concepciones, pero siempre desde la distancia. Simbólicamente una imagen es mucho mas potente que no una serie de ellas, y por eso una experiencia no se vive sin un shooting

From here Sontag
