Post-modernism is a style in the arts, philosophy and criticism starting in the late 20th century. This style stands for a withdrawal from modernism and its notions of grand theories and ideologies. According to Roy Ascott, post-modernism’s focus is not form but rather behavior, not a one-way information model of sending and receiving a message. Post-modernism behaves more similarly to an interrogation of probabilities by the viewer. The artwork stand between two behaviors, the artist and the observer

“What the Photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once: the Photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated existentially,” Roland Barthes stated in his book Camera Lucida: Reflections of Photography. Photography is the key to capturing a moment in time that will not reoccur again. You can try, but it will not be that exact moment you once saw before. A camera is a very powerful tool. It allows the artist to use it to display and present their message they are trying to get

James Elkins wrote Lingqi the last chapter of his book What Photography is? as an attempt to understand the meaning of this unbearable type of imagery.

Although I was advised not to

A portrait in art as we know is an artist’s representation of another person or one’s self, in which the face is the main subject matter. As one of the most widely used forms of art adopted by painters, sculptures and photographers, at some point in our lives we have all had our portrait taken either it being in a photographic studio, sat for a fine artist or in your local post office in the passport photo booth. The photographic portrait is a paradox of everlasting contradictions and whether identity

His pleasure invents a dream of heroic exploration…”Another indicator that Needy is dreaming is, in the beginning of the story it says that Lucida Merrill, his wife, sat at the pool with him on that midsummer Sunday, but that is impossible if he and his wife had split.

crucial insight into the substandard conditions these people endure. Roland Barthes views images in this way by analyzing beyond surface observations, and seeing the message beneath the picture, or in this case, the girl’s facial expression. “Camera Lucida” is about examining photographs as an expression of something beyond the image that describes an event or happening, viewing the story within. A great photograph recreates a moment that can never appear exactly the same again, evoking adventure and
