In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element - that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices.
With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force.
