"Elogio de la mirada" is a reclamation of the gaze against the notion of photography as a certificate of reality, an archive of memory, an eternal present, writing with light, or a mere mechanical technique. As truth, as object.
It positions photography as a continuation of painting within the flow of art history, praising the gaze as essential for approaching the medium, and rejecting the litanies that are repeated time and again when discussing photography.
The reader will discover, and enjoy exploring the pages of this book, that photography is not as it has been described until now.
A journey in which each person, as a "viewer," will arrive at a different and, above all, unknown destination.
