Summary:

"Whether one is being photographed, making a photograph, or looking at a photograph, photography is an act of the imagination. In nine original essays, art historians and cultural theorists break with photographic tradition to explore the crucial role of the imagination in photography from nineteenth-century studio portraiture to twenty-first-century digital innovations." "Drawing on the twenty-nine exhibitions of Le Mois de la Photo a Montreal 2005, Image & Imagination features the work of over sixty contemporary artists from Canada, Australia, the United States, France, England, Haiti, and Japan."--Jacket.
