PHOTOLOGY

Inspired by the work of the Czech philosopher Vilem Flusser, Arjan de Nooy proposes a distinctive outlook on photography in 20 propositions. These are the opening moves of ''Photology'', a photobook about photography played by the author. The title r
efers both to the study of the medium as to the logic of photography games. Using found photographs, postcards, online images, and photo simulations, De Nooy constructs a personal overview. Typical categories such as history, chance, style, informati
on, genres such as the portrait, and various photo theorists are treated in a playful manner.
