PHOTOGRAPHY AND BELIEF (DAVID ZWIRNER) (PB)

In this exploration of contemporary photography, David Levi Strauss questions the concept that “seeing is believing.” Identifying a recent shift in the dominance of photography, Strauss looks at the power of the medium in the age of Photoshop, smartphones, and the internet, asking important questions about how we look and what we trust. How is this shifting our relationship to images? Will this crisis in what we can believe come to threaten our very purchase on the real?
