What new means of narrative and perception can photography find in order to show that it can continue the Documentary Paradigm? And how much awareness is there of the fact that this attitude not only creates visual facts, but also gives them meaning? Indeed, photography is no mere representation of reality; it is an image. The catalogue Vor aller Augen presents 15 examples from Timm Rautert’s master class at the Leipzig School of Fine Arts from students who work predominantly in the field of photography, video art and sculpture. This title has been published on the occasion of the touring exhibition, La Nouvelle Photographie at the Goethe-Institut, Paris, 7 September 2005 - 21 January 2006.
