Kim Hwa-ja: The photographic phenomenology of ‘punctum’

The human interest in the unvarying ‘reality ’ of photology can accelerate the development of media that duplicates the reality, enabling the camera’s flash to ‘ record ’ with the naked eye, and eventually we are living in a constant stream of skintacking, transmission and consumption of reality with cameras embedded in our smartphones. For a modern man who has been trained in images that are impossible to communicate without images, photography has become the norm for looking at the world beyond its original capacity to record and remember reality. The result is that photos are causing side effects that will help you to see only what you want to believe, and, on the other hand, 3D videos, fully replicating reality with a full-sized hologram of high-tech and digital technology. This situation calls for a serious reflection on the nature of the photograph, the origin of techno. Punkt's photo-synthesis, which was important to the authenticity of photography, re-imagines the picture of a bright photonology that Bart, who thought it was ‘there’ that had no choice but to exist in the ‘Photo-Sphere’, gave Esei a reflection of the image that is becoming more and more pectagular, the photon-similarized. The ‘ insular loss ’ between ‘ real things ’ and ‘ traces ’ gives new insight into the old arguments between reality and images.
