The "Public" Life of PhotographsTools Roth, Paul and Gervais, Thierry and Snyder, Joel and Batchen, Geoffrey and Lavoie, Vincent and Panzer, Mary and Lugon, Olivier and Gunthert, André and Boulouch, Nathalie and Diack, Heather and Hackett, Sophie. The "Public" Life of Photographs. Toronto, Ont: Ryerson Image Centre; Cambridge, MA: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016.
Abstract (English)" The contributors—international curators and scholars from a range of disciplines—examine the emergence of photography as mass culture: through studios and public spaces; by the press; through editorial strategies promoting popular and vernacular photography; and through the dissemination of photographic images in the art world. The contributing authors discuss such topics as how photographic images became objects of appropriation and collection; the faith in photographic truthfulness; Life magazine's traveling exhibitions and their effect on the magazine's “media hegemony”; and the curatorial challenges of making vernacular photographs accessible in an artistic environment.
