Writing with Photography. Language performativity and photography's capacity for semiotics

Abstract

This essay started with the negative of writing a written essay. By so, I wanted to understand how photography operates as a language and what it means when one says "to read" a photograph. Can photography be the substitute for an essayistic idea? Is more than one image needed to develop and present a trustworthy idea? The reading of images and the reading of text share some qualities, they also share the same structural space: the essay, here, both will perform letting one influence the other.
