“The camera (with which we also ‘shoot’ subjects or targets) receives light, producing a product in which dimensionality is flattened to a plane and the living flow of time is frozen. Effectively: dead time, coupled with static identity. We find in the photograph the explicitly disembodied representation of life, time, and relation. A frozen ghost so compelling that we may quite easily sacrifice its subjects to take or preserve it. The relatively modern phenomenon of the ‘fatal selfie’ is but one minor example of a principle that runs vastly deeper than we, who are ‘drowning in a deluge of animated and dead images’ are capable of imagining, let alone “reflecting upon”.”
