More quotes by Andy Grundberg
Computer images, like camera images today, will be seen as representations of a simulated, second-degree reality with little or no connection to the unmediated world. This is one lesson we can learn from photographs, and especially from those of the last 25 years: images exist not to be believed, but to be interrogated.
Andy Grundberg
...truth-telling may be an ethic, adopted by photojournalists as a behavior, but experience shows us that it is not embedded in the medium like silver salts in film.
Andy Grundberg
The photograph suggests that our image of reality is made up of images. It makes explicit the domination of mediation.
Andy Grundberg
In the future, readers of newspapers and magazines will probably view news pictures more as illustrations than as reportage, since they can no longer distinguish between a genuine image and one that has been manipulated.
Andy Grundberg
...photography repeats itself unconsciously and unavoidably, producing stereotypes that then are repeated ad infinitum.
Andy Grundberg
Facts cling to photographs like dust.
Andy Grundberg
[Postmodern photography] implies the exhaustion of the image universe: it suggests that a photographer can find more than enough images already existing in the world without the bother of making new ones.
