Тезиси за фотографията с оглед на литературата
Theses on Photography in Light of Literature

Summary/Abstract: The article clarifies the essence of photography, focusing on the specificity of the photographic image and its relationship to fiction. The topic is examined in several aspects: ontological, related to the photograph as a “natural” sign, certifying the authenticity of the object of photography; aesthetic, related to the photograph as a artificial “picture”, the meaning of which depends on the viewer; rhetorical, related to the photograph as literature without words with its own visual structure created by the photographer; pragmatic, related to the photograph as a tool of literature and a component of the book as a literary media. An attempt is made to consider photography not through its traditional comparison with painting, but in juxtaposition with the art of literature.
