A PROPOS
Photo-Theoria est dédié à la photographie contemporaine, l’histoire de la photographie, l’analyse et la théorie de l’image. De 2015 à 2022, c’était également un magazine en ligne sur l’actualité artistique. Cette plate-forme a été créée en 2011 par Nassim Daghighian, historienne de l’art.
Petite étymologie du mot : en grec ancien θεωρία, theoria (contemplation, spéculation, regard sur les choses) vient de θεωρέω, theoreo (examiner, regarder, considérer), θεωρός, theoros (spectateur), thea (la vue) et ὁράω, orao (voir, regarder).
Ce site, qui propose aussi bien des textes que de nombreuses photographies, vous offrira, je l’espère, le plaisir de regarder longuement les images…
Les documents de Photo-Theoria sont disponibles sur ce site en PDF ; ils sont mis à disposition des lecteurs pour un usage pédagogique individuel privé non commercial ; prière de respecter les droits d’auteur et le copyright des photographes, artistes et auteurs cités dans ces documents. Merci !
