Failed Images: Photography And Its Counter-Practices Dirty Furniture In Tales from the DarkEdited by Ernst van Alphen, Failed Images attempts to understand the divergence between photography and the reality it portrays, analysing the various ways the photograph transforms that which exists before the camera. Because the photographic medium enables very different practices, which in turn results in many kinds of images, it must also be examined from a perspective outside of the dominant approach to the medium, generally called the snapshot.
