anthology on the widespread use and influence of photography
From its invention to the internet age, photography has been considered universal,
pervasive, and omnipresent. This anthology of essays posits how the question of
when photography came to be everywhere shapes our understanding of all manner
of photographic media. Whether looking at a portrait image on the polished
silver surface of the daguerreotype, or a viral image on the reflective glass
of the smartphone, the experience of looking at photographs and thinking with
photography is inseparable from the idea of ubiquity—that is, the apparent
ability to be everywhere at once. While photography’s distribution across
cultures today is undeniable, the insidious logics and pervasive myths that
have governed its spread demand our critical attention, now more than ever.
