"Painting's rejection of depiction has condemned photography to depict. most photographs follow Baudelaire's view: " I want to depict things as they are, or better yet as they would be, even if I did not exist."The question that remains unanswered, however, is that of the artistic rlevance of these pictures formed as dispatches. Can a photography really be practised after modernism, which leaves what is specific to its medium unreflected, which clings to a figurativeness, gathering together a traditional repertoire of motifs and thus demonstatively concentrating on developing an external context? The issue here is the opaque side of the sign, which now evinces, unlike the transparent side, only a minimal object reference.
