Succession
The merit of permanent succession
The photographer shows an element from the reality and the latter waits what (by chance) is offered to him. Frequently an understanding of the subject arises only during the course of time. It is also plausible that not everyone can have the access to every subject since every individual is a child of its inheritance and its influences and therefore mostly individual. It will always have its own scales for the assessment of a work of art.
A particular moment, an event, an object shall be taken out and be reminded from the large chaos which the is world now. The showing of the special, the exhibition of the individual and valuable is the key to the understanding.
The actual value of this subject, the right to make this subject is of course another story and is highly individual. Thus the creator of the work of art is mirrored by time and perspective through the choice and conversion of the subject.
Who is able to understand the value of this special subject now won't have any problems to find a particular form of esthetics in it. (It will be clear to him that the value of this subject is based on its unusual features and not on the fact that it is "new". A well-known but nevertheless convincing and for the subject suitable conversion always has to be preferred to a still so new but not to the impractical.) New ways of seeing make only sense, if they lead to a higher understanding of the subject in itself!
