Photographic images are perishable—and not only because of the instability of their
material support media. Image artifacts, white noise, and processes of degradation
contribute to their disappearance, as do loss, censorship, or digital deletion. These
processes affect individual images, but also technologies, motifs, and discourses—in
everyday life as well as artistic and professional contexts. Still, the semantics of evanescence should not be seen as essentially negative or catastrophic. Where something disappears, there is always also potential for novel developments and fresh
questions.
The new FUNDUS volume Auflösungs/erscheinungen. Positionen zum fotografischen Verschwinden (Dissolution phenomena. Positions on photographic dis/appearance) scrutinizes photography in its manifestations as material object, technical visual medium, information carrier, and metaphoric space within the semantic field of disappearance.
Edited by Aïcha Revellat (eikones—Center for the Theory and History of the Image, Basel) and Dennis Jelonnek (German Center for Art History Paris), the volume of essays is rounded out by creative contributions to the discussion. Among the subjects the authors study are the documentary force of photographs as evidence of social and political states of affairs, the gatekeeper function of technological solutions like social media, “obsolete” technical procedures and the afterlife of outdated equipment, reflections on time in film, the staged disappearance in the photographic image, and holography.
