Photography is a peculiar medium, an idiosyncratic mix of strengths and weaknesses. It is extremely good at documenting our everyday reality, and yet it is only capable of capturing the mute surface of our world. It merely shows the external appearance of things, not their essence. This is a question of interpretation, a matter for the viewer’s discretion. To compensate for this failing, photographs are mostly presented in an explicit context, often with explanatory captions. Tillesen’s “superficial images” also document our everyday reality, in combination with titles that seem to offer an explanation of their content. But on closer examination it becomes clear that neither the photographs nor the captions are reliable.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Fotografie ist ein eigentümliches Medium - stark und schwach zugleich. Sie ist stark in der Dokumentation unsererAlltagswirklichkeit. Und doch ist sie schwach - denn sie bildet nur die stumme Oberfläche unserer Welt ab. Sie zeigt nurdas Aussehen, nicht aber das Wesen der Dinge. Dieses ist Interpretationssache und liegt im Auge des Betrachters. Umdiese Schwäche zu kompensieren, werden Fotografien daher meist in einem eindeutigen Kontext und oft mit erklärendenBildunterschriften präsentiert. 'Superficial Images' sind ebenfalls Dokumente unserer Alltagswirklichkeit in Kombinationmit scheinbar erklärenden Bildtiteln. Doch wird bei genauerem Betrachten offensichtlich, dass den Fotografien hierebenso zu misstrauen ist wie den Bildunterschriften. Das Buch erscheint zur Einzelausstellung: Peter Tillessen - SuperficialImages, Centre de la photographie Genève, 25. November 2016 bis 22. Januar 2017. Seller Inventory # 9783959051163
