Description
The threads of light and time are woven together in this unique exploration of photography and its relationship to history and literature. Melissa McCarthy examines the marks made by us, on us, that remain just beyond the frame, and the practice of photography itself as an organising principle for both art and science. From the mirrored silver cells of a shark's eyeball to the silver salts of photographic paper, McCarthy uncovers the hidden connections between light, technology, and human experience. This is a book about the power of photography to reveal and conceal, to record and reinterpret the past. Through her meticulous research and lyrical prose, McCarthy reveals the intricate web of meaning that underlies our most seemingly mundane practices - from the way we capture images to the way we try to make sense of them.
