This book uniquely combines Baudrillard's photographs with his collected texts on photography theory. As a prominent French philosopher, Baudrillard significantly impacted contemporary art, particularly during the eighties and early nineties. He began photographing during his travels about twelve years ago and has since focused intensively on this medium. However, there is no direct correlation between his artistic endeavors and philosophical ideas; he captures images of subjects he chooses not to comment on, intentionally excluding them from his written work. In his photography, he explores the world of objects, seeking out the insignificant and arbitrary. According to Peter Weibel, the beauty of these objects lies in their laconic nature, which Baudrillard captures without the emotional weight of history or the artificiality often found in art photography. His lens rests on the surface of these objects, celebrating their visual appeal. Baudrillard was a sociologist, social theorist, philosopher, and media theorist, serving as a lecturer and professor at the University of Paris-Nanterre from 1966 to 1987, with numerous publications translated into over twelve languages. He began writing literary fiction in 1986 and received the Siemens Media Art Prize in 1995.
