In such instances, the partial autonomy of the photographic apparatus is purposefully utilized in order to bring about something that was not already clearly contoured. The author of such pictures sets a plan and follows it through, but also leaves a part of the experiment to itself. 34 As a rule, he first sees what the apparatus has brought forward under his guide only after it has created its effect—often without knowing exactly what he is dealing with in the image. A controllable, formable, predictable photographic process would be redundant from this perspective.
With which one falsifies photos at will by turning them into statements tinged with undeniable personal interest [in bestimmt gefärbte Aussagen]”makes clear that the emphasis on automatism does not necessarily include a theory of photographic objectivity (37). Like natural phenomena, the products of photography are by no means fraudulent, but when taken by themselves, they present no statement concerning that which is shown: “there is in photography always a certain opulence and contingency, just as there is in nature, for nature is not statement but being” (39).
Measured against the official French reading of photographic history—the first photograph produced by Nicéphore Niépce in 1822, and the issue of a patent for the process in 1839—the lightning-like emergence of photographic images in these earlier examples predates photography’s official inauguration by 150 years. Moreover, the numerous other causes on which Santini reports, with this purpose in mind, demonstrate that such natural images have probably always existed. According to this account, photography would not be something that was invented, since it had always existed as a sort of natural system of writing.
