An image that speaks of an image, ie a metaimagen. Never mind the technicalities, it is important eloquent character drawing (Work of David Suter) and the effect of discomfort on the object (television) captured by photography.
Can a work of art make us reflect and / or rethink models we natural? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. And that is why I want to reinforce the photography / artwork with this text to force even reflection.
Before the mass media (MMC) stormed into the life of Western societies, the life of the people was very different. One lived in the reality of their city and believe in what they witnessed, perceived or someone told him of confidence. With the advent of MMC, this situation changed sharply. Since the advent of television and the expansion of satellite communications, one no longer faces the reality of their city, but that's reality mediated around the world, reality is reality only when it happens on television. That is, the things that television does not capture reality. Let us pause a moment and think the above statement in the tremendous power of television and economic groups who run ...
According to a French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, the reality is an artifact , what would be there is no reality in itself, but the reality is an artifact, something made, which is not given and it is formed according to the perception of each person. From the moment a cameraman decides to make a foreground or a general level, is changing the reality (which is what the work of Suter tries to show us).
Friends, what I mean is nothing new, all the above is just for us from a serious side to strengthen the statement that "the telvisión handled." What the television (and the rest of the MMC) is to show a point of view of unfathomable reality, a totally biased point of view and ideology-laden but cleverly disguised as objectivity and sold as a non-political. So, my friends, beware of the driver, news, program, documentary, etc, tell them they are showing the reality as it is. Reality is not one, each one has to form different sources and drinking on the criterion, simple but effective action, that is, the reality is in the acts: a promise not to build a road but the road built, the end of the day reality is nothing that we can step on (and so far no steps without soil / road).
