What Is Old in Photography? Several Thought on the Limits of Visual Arts

The paper is based on two research and artistic projects focusing on social aspects of photography. It describes “conservatism of photography” — habits opposing new usages and interpretations of pictures — in two ways. First, it applies to everyday amateur practices — using cameras, creating, sharing, watching and archiving pictures. Second, it refers to the conservatism of scholars and some research trends in visual sociology and anthropology.
