Towards a philosophy of photography

Vilém Flusser's "Towards a Philosophy of Photography" delves into the nature of photography as a technical image, distinct from traditional art forms.
Flusser argues that photography's technical aspects shape our perception and understanding of reality.
He explores the impact of technological mediation on our experience of the world, emphasizing the role of the camera and its influence on how we see and interpret images.
The book challenges traditional notions of artistic creation and authorship in the context of technological reproduction.
Flusser's work remains highly relevant in discussions about the relationship between technology, image-making, and the construction of reality.
His insights continue to inspire critical analyses of visual culture in the digital age.
