Reading Summary

I agree that the "fountain" is not art but the photographs that interpret the piece are. You can draw a different perception from a photograph then what you can gather from a photo. I like the idea of art being expressed as an out of control thing. "She creates scenarios that consume her, border on being out of control, fail, remain unfinished or take unexpected turns." An open-ended or spontaneous photograph leaves the viewer to interpret or imagine what they are seeing in a different light without any direct aid from the photographer. One of the perks to photography is the interplay of two and three dimensional spaces in their solid, fleeting, and combined moments and rendering them in the 2D. The book implies that we graphically reduce them during the conversion to 2D but I don't agree with this.
