El libro más emblemático de una escritora comprometida con los temas más candentes de su tiempo y que cierra con un interrogante: ¿hasta qué punto puede mentir una cámara?

Sobre la fotografía, publicado por primera vez en 1973, supuso un trabajo revolucionario en la crítica fotográfica. Con él, Susan Sontag planteó cuestiones ineludibles, en el plano moral y estético, acerca de esta forma artística. Hay fotografías en todas partes; tienen la potestad de impactar, idealizar o seducir, pueden provocar la nostalgia o pueden servir de recordatorio, y se erigen en prueba contra nosotros o en el medio para identificarnos.

En estos seis penetrantes capítulos, Sontag se pregunta cómo afecta la omnipresencia de estas imágenes a nuestro modo de ver el mundo, y cómo hemos llegado a depender de ellas para confeccionar las nociones de realidad y autoridad.

Work Description

On Photography is a 1977 collection of essays by Susan Sontag. It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and present-day role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography, among these, she contrasts Diane Arbus's work with that of Depression-era documentary photography commissioned by the Farm Security Administration.
