This profound essay explores what separates photography from other artistic media. Murat Nemet-Nejat argues that photographic seeing is not a plastic experience, but a meditative one built around a relationship between image and words. Through a critique of photographs in a 1993 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Waking Dream: Photography’s First Century, he shows repeatedly how the focal points in photographs are often their mistakes (blurs, over- or underexposures, etc.) and, spatially, exist in their peripheries.

Among his other books are Questions of Accent (essay), The Spiritual Life of Replicants, Animals of Dawn, Io’s Song, and Turkish Voices (poetry). His translations of Turkish poets include: Ece Ayhan’s A Blind Cat Black and Orthodoxies (Green Integer). Seyhan Erözçelik’s Rosestrikes and Coffee Grinds, and Birhan Keskin’s Y’ol. He also edited Eda: An Anthology of Contemporary Turkish Poetry. He lives in Hoboken, New Jersey. Photography
