The Susan Sontag collection of essays On Photography first saw the light of day as a series of essays published between 1973 and 1977. In the book that made her famous, Sontag comes to the conclusion that the widespread use of photography leads to the establishment of a “chronic voyeurism” relationship between man and the world, as a result of which everything that happens begins to be located on the same level and acquires the same meaning. According to Sontag, the main paradox of photography lies in the fact that the person who shoots cannot intervene in what is happening, and, conversely, if he participates in the event, he is no longer able to capture it in the form of a photographic image.
