Camera inside: or the self-denied body of the image

Abstract

Neither all of history nor centuries of science have been enough to clarify it; the myth lives not only on what it conceals within its narrative, but also on the transformations it undergoes in the labyrinth it has traversed through time to remain renewed and relevant. An enigmatic event, a phenomenon we try to understand by resorting both to knowledge structured by reason and to the magical power we so readily attribute to gods and fairies.
