Not the person who could not read and write would be the illiterate of the future, but the person who could not read photographs.

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy 1936

-----------------------------------------

Every photographed object is merely the trace left behind
by the disappearance of all the rest.
It is an almost perfect crime.
It is photographs which bring us closest to a universe
without images, or in other words to pure appearance.
For it is the object which sees us, the object which dreams
us. It is the world which reflects us, it is the world which
thinks us. This is the basic rule.

Jean Baudrillard 1998

------------------------------------------

Every photograph is a certificate of presence.

Roland Barthes 1999
