- Abstract
- Picking up on Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of a liquid modernity, this contribution investigates the question of how photography is determined by the complex of actions in the digital age. Whereas the traditional photography portrait can be described as a pact (Jean-Marie Schaeffer), the stable relationship between the model and the photographer referred to by this pact has been jettisoned in order to make way for a mobile, transient, liquid portrait. Examples from literature (David Foster Wallace) and art (Nancy Burson, Orlan, and Tony Oursler) are used to illustrate the extent to which the liquid portrait presents itself as an open experiment. One in which a definitive end is neither possible, nor desired.
