metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article analyzes the problem of image and object in photography. The study proceeds
  from the assumption that the presentation of a thing implies its special status in photography.
  The article considers the position of things in photography as a semantic and ideological
  problem. A photographic demonstration of an object can be interpreted as a special pictorial
  strategy. The thing is the condition of the shot: a photography is impossible without an object.
  The problem of the relationship between photography and things looks like a large-scale
  contradiction. Photography fundamentally changes the object both visually and qualitatively.
  Acquiring the status of an image, a thing loses its material qualities. The object in the frame
  is deprived not only of its practical meaning — it loses its subject program. From a three-dimensional
  object, a thing turns into an ephemeral and phantom unit. The thing as a given
  experience in photography becomes an illusion. The constituted qualities of the subject are
  lost in the frame. In photography, a thing becomes a false distorted image, an element of a
  deceptive perception of the world. The subject in the photograph is an ephemeral entity, an
  imaginary and non-existent phantom. The frame verifies the presence of the object and, at the
  same time, endows the meaning of the authentic that which is not. Within the framework of
  this study, it is important that the status of a thing in photography is not only possessed by an
  object with strict outlines and boundaries. The disembodied and formless acquire the quality
  of an object in photography. The study draws attention to the fact that photography turns the
  world into a set of units, where the quality of a thing is possessed not only by the object, but
  also by the surrounding space.
