Joan Fontcuberta, La furia delle immagini, note sulla postfotografia, 2018

The second digital revolution, characterised by the pre-eminence of the Internet, social networks and mobile telephony, and the hypermodern society, marked by the asphyxiation of consumption, have catapulted us into a post-photographic era, in which we inhabit the image as much as it inhabits us. Post-photography confronts us with the challenge of the social and political management of this new reality that is the result of a ubiquitous iconosphere. Images circulate on the net at breakneck speed, they are no longer inert presences, and their incessant kinetic energy makes them active, furious and dangerous. Post-photography thus becomes a context of visual thought that certifies the dematerialisation of images and their authors, dissolving the notions of originality and ownership, truth and memory.
