:: once i read that a photograph keeps a moment from running away. Right there! Right there the image, the absolute particular, the sovereign contingency. The This, Tuche for Lacan. “Tathata, tat means that in Sanskrit and suggests the gesture of the child pointing his finger at something and saying: that, there it is” - the unprecedented confusion between reality (‘this existed’) and truth (‘this is’). “This is why, insofar as it is licit to speak of a photograph, it seemed to me just as improbable to speak of the Photograph.”
