*Instagram doesn't like words, so see the comments for the full quote.* Susan Sontag writes what we all wish we could. Her words are so necessary. I went through a similar experience as she did while at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. I've always been a pacifist, but seeing the carnage the bomb was responsible for... Japan's commitment to preserving peace and ending nuclear warfare is such a loving way to respond. They're so brave and inspiring. 💜 Join us in a couple weeks for our discussion of Susan Sontag's ON PHOTOGRAPHY (1977) on Saturday, May 25 at 10am at the @redbrickguelph. Take it away Susan... "Photographs shock insofar as they show something novel. Unfortunately, the ante keeps getting raised - partly through the very proliferation of such images of horror. One's first encounter with the photographic inventory of ultimate horror is a kind of revelation, the prototypically modern revelation: a negative epiphany. For me, it was photographs of Bergen-Belsen and Dachau which I came across by chance in a bookstore in Santa Monica in July 1945. Nothing I have seen - in photographs or in real life - ever cut me as sharply, deeply, instantaneously. Indeed, it seems plausible to me to divide my life into two parts, before I saw those photos (I was twelve) and after, though it was several years before I understood fully what they were about. What good was served by seeing them? They were only photographs - of an event I had scarely heard of and could do nothing to affect, of suffering I could hardly imagine and could do nothing to relieve. When I looked at those photographs, something broke. Some limit had been reached, and not only that of horror; I felt irrevocably grieved, wounded, but a part of my feelings started to tighten; something went dead; something is still crying."

Sundays with my child.
想起研究所時拜讀的蘇珊桑塔格的《旁觀他人之痛苦》、《論攝影》 作為他國災劫的旁觀者，是一種典型的現代經驗，這經驗是由近一個半世紀以來一種名叫「記者」的特殊專業遊客奉獻給我們的。戰爭如今已成為我們客廳中的聲色奇觀。有關別處事件的資訊，即所謂「新聞」，重點都在衝突與暴力──「有血流，領先售」（If it bleeds, it leads）是小報及二十四小時新聞提要節目的指導方針。對那些逐一闖入眼簾的淒楚，人們的反應可能是怨憫、憤怒、認可，或覺得過癮。 世人對某些戰爭慘況的知覺其實是建構出來的，而建構的工具主要是攝影機記錄的照片。它於黑暗中亮起，經由許多人分享，然後從眼前消失。與文字紀錄相反──文章是以其思想、典故和辭藻的複雜去吸引小眾或大眾──照片只有一種語言，而且是說給所有人聽。 西班牙內戰（1936-39）是現代所理解的第一場被目擊（「採訪」〔covered〕）的戰爭：一組專業攝影師於交戰前線及受轟炸的市鎮內採訪，其作品迅即刊布於西班牙及海外的報章雜誌。美國入侵越南是第一場由電視攝影機逐日見證的戰爭，它在家庭生活與死亡和毀滅之間，建立了一種面對面的、既近猶遠的新關係。從此之後，現場直播的戰爭及屠殺就成為家中小螢幕上不盡長江滾滾來的經常性娛樂節目。要在不斷面對五花八門資訊的觀眾意識中，製造對某一特定衝突的一點宏觀，就必須每天把衝突的片段一而再再而三地不斷播放。今日那些未曾身歷戰爭之人對戰爭的理解，主要都是來自於這些影像的衝擊。 文摘自 Susan Sontag《旁觀他人之痛苦》 —— #susansontag #onphotography #regardingthepainofothers #civilwar #civilwar2024 #movie #warcorrespondent #war #a24

25th of April, 25 de Abril, Sherry Wiggins and Luís Filipe Branco @lfilipebranco, color digital print, 2019. Today Portugal is celebrating 50 years of democracy, it is the 25th of April! Parabens! Feliz 25 de Abril! This date is celebrated in Portugal as a national holiday – it is the date of the Carnation Revolution, the revolution that led to the fall of the Estado Novo dictatorship in 1974 and resulted in a democratic Portugal. As the soldiers and the population took to the streets to celebrate, carnations were placed in the muzzles of the guns. Luís Branco @lfilipebranco and I made this image on the 25th of April, 2019 at the Obras Art Residency @foundationobras in Evoramonte, Portugal. I try to post this image every year and this year as students and others protest the war and genocide in Gaza in the US and around the world, it seems all the more important that we remind ourselves to protect our democratic institutions, to protect the right to protest and to deplore genocide. #25deabril #25ofapril #alentejo #artphotography #carnationrevolution #collaboration #conceptualphotography #contemporaryart #feministoutlook #fineartphotography #foundationobras #obrasartistresidencies #onphotography #performanceart #photography #portugal #representingwomen #womaninthelandscape

On Photography by Susan Sontag This originally was not on my book list. I added it last minute, as I was going through my bookcase I pulled it out and it stuck with me. I have an interest in religion and history but I also majored in Photography, have a consistent photo practice, and work in the arts currently. Sometimes it is so engrained in my everyday that I forget it as something I choose to engage with, to learn about, and continue to do. Which is why I’ve chosen On Photography by Susan Sontag. We interact with photo and video now more than ever, and photos are almost never, quite the truth. This is a hard psychological fallacy to shake. To be critical of what we view,and how we view is paramount. Sontag’s book has gone from just being a seminal text of photographers to being something I would recommend to everyone. Particularly Sontag’s thoughts on the relationship of photography and voyeurism as it pertains to social media and our new use of the medium. #susansontag #onphotography #susansontagonphotography #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #instabook #love #booksofinstagram #reader #readingtime #bookshelf #writing #booklove #literature #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #author #instabooks #bookblogger #bookreview #bibliofeed
I usually don't edit photos immediately after shooting, but I'm glad I took a look at the images I shot before sunrise today, because my sensor needed a good cleaning! Here I've captured the movement of the waves and the birds by stacking several long exposures shot with intentional camera movement. . . . . . . #icmphotomagazine #ICMPhotoMag #worldtravelbook #ilovetravel #artisticphotography #thecreative #artofvisuals #coastal #blurryphoto #longexposure #longexposure_shots #capecodart #beachartwork #artsyphotography #compositephotography #artistry_flair #capeandislands #capecodinstagram #capecodphotography #WestYarmouthMA #seascape_captures #photo_impression #impressionistphotography #impressionistic #impressionist #fineartphotography #photographicart #withphotography #onphotography

Recently, I went to New York, and while I was preparing for the trip, I found my notebook titled 'My New Yorker Pause,' filled with all my thoughts and feelings about my gap year in the city that never sleeps. Today, I would like to share with you a story that marked the beginning of a project called 'No More Muses', which to this day continues to be small but from which I learn every day. At that moment, the project consisted of just a few notes, concepts, photos, a collection of ideas that I wanted to delve into without a specific purpose. The journey of transforming an idea into a successful project underscores the importance of embracing openness and avoiding premature judgment. Just as my project 'No More Muses' began as a collection of unrefined notes and concepts, every idea deserves the opportunity to evolve and flourish over time. By nurturing ideas without immediate critique or dismissal, we allow them the space to mature, develop, and potentially reveal their true potential. What may initially appear as a simple notion or fleeting thought can blossom into a transformative project with the right cultivation and dedication. Therefore, let us approach ideas with curiosity, patience, and a willingness to explore their possibilities, recognizing that greatness often emerges from humble beginnings.

"Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been - what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal - needs to be protected from people. When we are afraid, we shoot. But when we are nostalgic, we take pictures." Sontag's peculiar comparison between guns and cameras (pun intended with the reference to both gadgets being used to "shoot") is eerily on point and couldn't have been any truer today, nearly 50 years after the publication of On Photography. In an age where the art of photography is accessible to anyone and everyone with a smartphone, it is interesting to observe how we approach our subjects has transitioned from a meer artistic expression to more of a hunter targeting a prey. The thirst to capture more, the way we sometimes dominate a natural landscape exploiting it en masse for our consumerist expressions, how we have turned everything - from the coffee we drink to the most intimate moments with our loved ones - into a materialistic statement...All of these make photography feel more like a hunter trying to get the maximum out of its kill. I was a bit disappointed in Sontag's writing style, as I felt she sometimes tends to miss that poetic catharsis towards the art (as you would see from writers like Patty Smith) and instead tends to write in a more mechanical, scholarly tone because she looks at it from the viewpoint of a critique and not an artist herself. But I am still impressed in her foresight and deep understanding about the complex dynamics of the subject. Altogether lots to take in, many delicious literary corners in this book... #susansontag #onphotography #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionreads #nonfictionpicks #nonfictionreaders #essays #reading #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklover #booksbooksbooks #instabooks #booklove #bookphotography #bookaesthetics #bibliophile #bookish #readersofinstagram #prettybookpics
On Photography - Susan Sontag During those “stay at home” times I used to listen to several podcasts. One of them led me to Susan Sontag “On Photography”. Thank you, Professor @mundoaureo for so many incredible episodes on @literatura.viral and for talking about Susan Sontag. If you love photography you definitely should read “On Photography”. While reading her book I found out who I am as a photographer. Sontag made me understand why do I photograph. She helped me realising what truly motivates me while photographing. Her words left me overwhelmed. But I really would like to talk about one of the many photographers Sontag cites on her book. I’d like to talk about Diane Arbus. Her intentions on photography caught my attention and I felt desolate when I realised she killed herself when she was 48 years old. Her sensibility made it possible for her to capture the same energy in every single image she made. As her audience, we always have the same feelings when we look to her art. It’s like you can feel her digital there. She photographed pretty different subjects, but her eyes and her camera captured and showed similarities in every single image. Sontag and Arbus are incredible (art is somewhat eternal, this is the reason I used ARE). If I thought I used to love photography, I tell you after reading “On Photography” I love it even more. #sontag #photography #arbus #onphotography #penguin #bookworm #penguinbooks

“If you want reality, go and stand there, it’s there. It’s all around us.” - Nick Knight “Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality … needing to have reality confirmed and experience enhanced by photographs is an aesthetic consumerism to which everyone is now addicted. Industrial societies turn their citizens into image junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution.” - Susan Sontag, On Photography @nick_knight @susansontagquotes @susansontag #flowers #reality #photography #onphotography

“the ultimate wisdom of the photographic image is to say: ‘there is the surface. now think—or rather fee, intuit—what is beyond it, what the reality must be like if it looks this way.’” — On Photography, Susan Sontag i’ve had this book by Sontag for quite some time but have just had the opportunity to read it this month. i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, i finished it a couple of days ago, and i keep coming back to some passages. Sontag’s prose is definitely one of a kind, the kind you may ceaselessly aspire towards (i read this for a class and my professor had the same opinion). her interest in photography is clinical, but it’s obsessive, it’s a vigilant investigation of photography as an art and as an activity. and it’s fitting since making a case for photography doesn’t seem to be Sontag’s intention in this book. Sontag would seem to evaluate one instance, and then refute her previous appraisal the next. in this book, Sontag explores the realism and the surrealism of the photographic image, its edges and its discontents. she invokes Whitman to posit photography as a populist art, a populist way of seeing, and finally (and in turn) as an “American” art. her writing is neither final nor definitive, but rather highly suggestive. you can pause and ponder over every paragraph, it invites you to revisit it sometime, but also it begs frequent and long visitations.
If February is when the real year starts then March is probably when MY reading year starts... I’m on a book-buying ban because of my overflowing physical and digital tbr yet somehow still unable to get through them... these were some books I started on a whim and ended up loving. Especially ‘Essays in Love’; an insightful and very relevant look at the various stages of love and understanding portrayed through the progression of Alain’s own relationship. I also enjoyed ’In Memory of Memory‘ a lot—was completely taken by the idea of putting together someone’s life and history through the objects they leave behind and to have it told in conversation with ideologies such as those of Barthes and Sontag (whose On Photography I also enjoyed and annotated dearly) was very poetic and an incredibly bold exploration of culture and personal memory. I’m trying to get over the ick of my own recorded voice to do video essays for certain books by themes, since I can’t really cram it all into captions or a carousel–let’s see how that develops. This month’s tbr looks promising too! Currently finishing This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno and also started Rouge (finally) by Mona Awad, so hopefully those are my next reviews. Happy March! . . . #ayzonbooks #tbr #2024reads #readinglist #alaindebotton #essaysinlove #inmemoryofmemory #mariastepanova #nonfiction #translated #susansontag #onphotography #poetry #bluets #maggienelson #hankang #humanacts #clairekeegan #smallthingslikethese #fiction
