Hans Durrer's Framing the World is not
a book on photography, nor does it contain photographs. Rather, it
deals with questions that are rarely asked in texts that deal with
photography and the media: Does a picture really tell more than a
thousand words or is it the other way around – that we need a
thousand words to understand a picture? Is it true that seeing is
believing, or do we simply see what we happen to believe? Are we
condemned to see the world in a culturally conditioned way? These and
other such questions are posed and answered in the author's quiet and
penetrating observations.
