THE SYNERGY BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY AND TEXT IN CONTEMPORARY ART

Yoana Angelova
Pages: 80-93


ABSTRACT - The counterpoint between photography and text forms key concepts that give direction for the development of new techniques at different times and in different places, under the influence of different social and cultural conditions. This topic is still relevant, but today the complexity of the image – text relationship is thought of in an even more complex way. The aim of the research is rather a representative selection of authors and works. In addition, the selection includes only those artists and photographers for whom the two media – photography and text - are crucial. In some cases, an artistic position would include similar strategies used by other artists. The study covers the second half of the twentieth century – a period in which artists with different conceptual views in the beginning, later practiced these strategies.
