"The layers that form the practice of photography are themselves permeated by layers of repetition and multiplication."
There is so much difference in the mediums of art in the world. In contrast, within each medium and among them is a certain repetition. Repetition can be seem within the image, but also within the technique. A quote from the reading stated: “photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent and the hardest medium in which to have a personal vision because there’s no touch, there’s no hand, there’s no physicality, there’s no interface.” This is wrong. Within photography just like any other medium there is personal style, personal preference. This causes a repetition of some sort, from the creator and infuses personal vision, which in turn allows the artist to use whichever technique, whichever slit of hand to create their image. A series of images would not be a series without a little repetition amongst the bunch. Our repetition is what makes our photographs unique.
"As photography already points to larger fields and contexts, rendering an expanded view in time and space, repetition opens the possibility, through the accumulation of individual parts, of depicting a picture larger than what we may be able to see as individuals."
