Picturing Ecology
Photography and the birth of a new science
Langbeschreibung
Picturing Ecology is a must-read for scholars of visual culture in the sciences, providing an inside-out account of the social, material, and highly visual practices of photography and ecology as they emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. Damian Hughes takes his reader on a journey, from the observation of plants in 19th century botany, to the 20th century observation of 'plant communities', and the development of an 'ecological eye'. It makes for compelling reading, and will change the way we think about embedded and embodied practices of photography in the sciences.
