Photography
And the Proliferation of a Visual Vernacular
MEDIA 180: 20 March 2017
• The rise of a market in images, consumable
images.
• The outlook of images, more and more,
reflecting the point of view of ordinary
individuals, of secular life.
• New conception of truth: from mysterious to
visually legible.
• Rise of a visual vernacular. Images that imitate
the ways that ordinary people see.
