Narrative Ability
Photographs are mute, they have no narrative ability. You know what something looks like, but you don’t know what’s happening. A piece of time and space is well described, but not what’s happening. There is not a photograph in the world with narrative ability. They do not tell stories, they show you what something looks like, to a camera. The minute you relate a photo to what was photographed, it’s a lie. It’s two dimensional, it’s the illusion of literal description.
