The Invention of the Devil

A book that explores the link between process and concept through an historical look at analogue photography. ‘The wish to capture evanescent reflection is not only impossible, as has been shown by thorough German investigation, but the mere desire alone, the will to do so, is blasphemy. God created man in his own image, and no man-made machine may fix the image of god. Is it possible that god should have abandoned his eternal principles, and allowed a Frenchman in Paris to give the world…the invention of the devil’.
