Concrete photographs are not a semantic medium, but aesthetic objects:they are not represented, but presented, not reproduced, but produced.

They are objects made of photographic material. They do not want toillustrate anything; they do not want to represent anything. They arenothing but themselves: objects referring to themselves: they areindependent, authentic, autonomous, autogenic: photographs ofphotography.

The language of photography is not limited to the pictorial effects of the

image and can include the effects created by tools of the medium. Thechoice of a particular camera, lens or film can communicate just as muchto the viewer as the actual image.
