Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida, Chapters 1-5: Death in Photography | FA ep. 15

In this video I summarize Roland Barthe's first five chapters of his seminal book on photography: Camera Lucida, from 1980.

In my opinion, these first few chapter's main idea is the presence of Death in photography, something Barthes develops futher later in this same book.

Here's a link to LM Salcasas' article on Artificial Intelligence art:
