基本上,這是個很聳動的題目,也是一個很嚴肅的議題.
Richard Prince,這個最近才以一幅 ”Untitle（Cowboy）"打破百萬美元的拍賣
紀錄美國當代藝術家,其作品其實是一張照片（it presents a copy of a copy
of a copy of a copy of a real falseffod）而非畫,而且它的大小，是Prince故意
”make it good、make it big”（so as to like a painting）當時有人質疑照片
中不是真正的牛仔，Prince這麼回答...”I killed photography.Maybe I should
have"rescued"photography.”
他的回答引發了許多問題，雖然有人聲稱攝影已死（→Prince took the reality
upside down）姑且不論此說法對不對，卻只有Prince說自己正是謀殺犯（Romer
後來給我們看一張Prince的照片的時候就說他是”killer of photography”）
其實Prince有此一說關鍵是在攝影”貌似真實”的本質
而這一點引發了1839宣言：”From today painting is dead！”
Romer這樣評論Prince：He doesn't know what to paint，so he took up the
camera；he doesn't know what to photograph,so he photograph the
photograph. ”Of all the mechanical poisons poured upon man in the
19th century，photography was the worst.”－John Ruskin
Romer接著講到自己小時候：”I'm made by the television.”他也是很愛看電
視的人，他說他是在電視裡看到無數張的”照片”
而Romer認為真正殺了攝影的是電視→”Of all the mechanical poisons poured
upon man in the 20th century，television was the worst.”
”Digital imaging and the personal computer have certainly electrified
and may have electrocuted Photography."What is Photography？"and"What are
Photographs？"are now questions as difficult to answer as"What is Truth？
"or"What is Beauty？" ”
