The popular equivalency of photographic
Image = reality has been permanently altered.
Everyone, or practically anyone who is visually literate, knows that they can never again trust an image in order to understand reality.
All images are simply subjective representations. This used to be the basis for many university courses on visual culture, exploring the myth of photographic reality.
Now it is commonplace thinking for anyone who has the
merest understanding of photography, including children who don’t know how to write yet.
