Visualization of Facts

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

“Visualization, in its broadest sense, implies a process of presenting any data in the form of an image for the maximum comfort of its comprehension, for rendering a visual form to any object, subject, process, notion, or event. Using photography for this purpose is one of the basic methods of visualization of life realities.

How can we ‘wrap up’ visual reality making use of photographic images? How do we reach the maximum adequacy between the meaning of the visual material and the observed real event? Is it possible to make a visual narration about an event of real life without being its immediate participant and witness?”
