“Photographs and monuments offer very different materials for making history—paper versus stone, a sliver of silver against a lump of bronze. One wouldn’t expect much of a context in terms of endurance, yet as Roland Barthes has observed, photography has replaced the monument as the site of collective memory. The very act of memorializing has been de-centered and dispersed through the complex and ever-growing web of images that witness the big and small events of our public and private lives, binding us to personal and collective memory in a way that few monuments could hope to match.”
