The Failed Photographs of Photography: On the Analogue and Slow Photography Movement

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter addresses the contemporary analogue and slow photography movement and its often-claimed potential to oppose the triviality of the mass image and mainstream digital photographic culture. The argumentation is theoretically grounded in debates on counter-practices of photography, particularly conceptions of meta-pictoriality, aesthetic of imperfection, and failed images, which are all considered promising ways to answer Flusser’s call for play against the programme of the apparatus. Empirically based on auto-nethnographic participant observation, the chapter takes the so-called Lomography community and its photography practices as a case study. It is demonstrated that the frequent Lomography tactic against the digital image is based on producing photographs of photography, that is, meta-photographs. However, the detailed analysis of selected practices of Lomography, specifically the LomoWall exhibition strategy and Lomography’s imperfections, reveals that the potential of resistance against the networked digital image apparatus failed to be realised. Lomography suffers the same malaises of digital visual culture, which it intends to resist.
