In a Photograph Everything Looks Different: “Photography is what it is not”

Ewa Zarzycka

Abstract

The text is an attempt to articulate the individual experience of photography, to capture the character of real and fictitious connections with photography. Ewa Zarzycka explores the paradox of the statement “Photography is what it is not.” She embarks on a reflection on various types of memory related to photography and on the specificity of the photographic archive of “memory and imagination”. “In the photograph, everything is different” is the text of Ewa Zarzycka’s talk of the same title, which was given in 1985 in Skoki during the symposium Philosophizing Photographers. While giving this talk, Zarzycka pasted photographs into an album, which resulted in creating a “not-to-be-looked-at” object-album.
