| Summary: | Focusing on early 19th-century England - and on the works and texts of the inventor of paper photography, William Henry Fox Talbot - 'Singular Images, Failed Copies' historicizes the conceptualization of photography in that era as part of a major historical change. Treating photography not merely as a medium or a system of representation but also as an epistemology, Vered Maimon challenges today's prevalent association of the early photograph with the camera obscura. Instead, she points to material, formal, and conceptual differences between those two types of images by considering the philosophical and aesthetic premises linked with early photography. |
