## Description

Barthes shares his passionate, in-depth knowledge and understanding of photography. Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by S***E on 7 January 2018*

I have an annual custom of reading/re-reading Barthes on flights every December/January. Last year it was Mourning Diary that piqued my interest. And this year, it is Camera Lucida, a book that Barthes was working on alongside the aforementioned diary. Just as sublimely Barthes as possible, Camera Lucida takes our common everyday perspectives out for a drive, makes us question our very perspective regarding images, and then brings us back to square one. Questioning whether we are indeed back where we began from. Barthes puts the question himself, that he attempts to establish a hypothesis that is already a theory. But then again, had Barthes not questioned the lucidity of the photographic process, we might just have had to contend ourselves with a Camera Obscura.
