Carnets du bal 2. L’image déjà la, usages de l’objet trouvé photographique et cinématographique

The history of photography is also that of replication – its importance increasing due to its technique and means of production. Inevitably its images became the basis of other images and uses – to be re-employed in collage, montage, ready-mades etc. Photography has led into multiple directions as much about the object as the medium itself. This collection of twelve illustrated essays (the second instalment in the series Les Carnet du Bal) explores this terrain which parallels the traditional history of art and its images. Including texts by Batia Suter, Joachim Schmid, Anri Sala, and Didier Semin.
