Tehnologicitatea, artisticitatea, esteticitatea - permanenţe ale fotografiei contemporane
Technologicity, Artisticity, Aestheticism – Instances of Permanence in Contemporary Photography

Summary/Abstract: The considerations of the young representatives of contemporary photography no longer claim that its mission is that of expressing the truth, i.e. exposing the world as if it were an objective confession, but commenting upon its condition, thus going beyond a simple state of reception. In order to emphasize the subjects mostly neglected by mass-media, the photographers construct their images making use of stage directions and computer-aided retouches. Generating debates that do not only focus on the very conditions of image production, stories of image capturing or contemplation, tales of imagistic trails or memories, perceptive fluxes that reiterate the intrinsic link between photography and reality, the reflexivity of contemporary photography manifests itself in a dialectical game that generates a photographic rewriting of metaphors, allegories or image stories.
