For many artists & scholars, photography has a direct connection with temporality & mortality. As literary theorist Roland Barthes asserts in Camera Lucida (1980), “Photography may correspond to the intrusion, in our modern society, of an asymbolic Death, outside of religion, outside of ritual, a kind of abrupt dive into literal Death. Life/Death: the paradigm is reduced to a simple click, the one separating the initial pose from the final print. With the Photograph, we enter into flat Death.”
