At the edge of sight : photography and the unseen / Shawn Michelle Smith. - 344 pages : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The advent of photography revolutionized perception, making visible what was once impossible to see with the human eye. In this book, Shawn Michelle Smith engages these dynamics of seeing and not seeing, focusing attention as much on absence as presence, on the invisible as the visible. Exploring the limits of photography and vision, she asks: What fails to register photographically, and what remains beyond the frame? What is hidden by design, and what is obscured by cultural blindness?
