How can the historical narratives of photography be told such that they are not limited tophotographic images but give serious consideration to the different ways in which these imagesare transformed into other visual media? Photo historian Geoffrey Batchen argues the case fora new media history of early modernism that focuses on the migration and dissemination ofphotographs and goes far beyond photography. His study is a fascinating attempt to track thediverse ways in which photographic images have migrated, delineating a dynamic visual cultureand in the process creating a history of photography in an intermedial context. Batchen showsthat this history has invariably been one of media transformation.Geoffrey Batchen, b. 1956 in Melbourne, professor for art history at the University of Oxford.
