Since its invention, photography has often been questioned about its own definition within the visual arts. This book takes a deliberately anti-ontological approach in the shape of a true-false handbook, with answers coming from the artists themselves through more than 70 works, mostly from the Centre Pompidou collection, including Man Ray, Jeff Wall, Ugo Mulas and Dennis Oppenheim.
