Description
It was a photograph of Nicaragua by Wessing that Roland Barthes referred to in a passage in his seminal work on the theory of photography, Camera Lucida: "I was glancing through an illustrated magazine. A photograph made me pause. Nothing very extraordinary: the (photographic) banality of a rebellion in Nicaragua: a ruined street, two helmeted soldiers on patrol; behind them, two nuns. Did this photograph please me? Interest me? Intrigue me? Not even. Simply, it existed (for me)." — pagg. 58; BN; rileg. brossura. Editore: Van Gennep, Amsterdam, 1978.
