Photography, trace, and trauma
Photography is often associated with the psychic effects of trauma: the automatic nature of the process, wide-open camera lens, and light-sensitive film record chance details unnoticed by the photographer - similar to what happens when a traumatic event bypasses consciousness and lodges deeply in the unconscious mind. This book takes a groundbreaking look at photographic art and works in other media that explore this important analogy.
