Postmedialism – the Program to Intellectualize Pictures

Summary/Abstract: Abigail Solomon Godeau believes that photography doesn’t fir broad artistic framework. It is, rather, the area of idle formal exploitation. Stefan Wojnecki and other theoreticians of art believe that postmedial photography is the area of extensive creative work, which cannot be characterized in terms of academic epigenist ideas. Postmedial photographers aren’t interested in new photographic style, but, rather, they are interested in new ways of thinking about photography. Wojnecki analyzes the relationship between images and photographic medium. Also, he analyzes perspective, color, light, and the rules which apply to vision. In his analysis, he includes both cultural and non-cultural aspects of photography. His own model of artistic vision is the result of subjective interpretation of the reality. He believes that images are connected with each other, and they have their own history. He wrote that art was the manifestation of artistic knowledge accumulated by generations of artists. Postmedial images are reduced to ‘revealed images’. Interpretation of photography is based on simulation, symbiosis and subjective vision of the reality. Photography is connected with artistic philosophy based on volition, imagination and emotions. Posmedialism contributes to self-instrumentalization of the medium, based on its own methods and technologies.
