At some point, I read that in Ancient Athens there was a wooden ship that was kept as a memorial to a major sea battle. Of course, the wood rotted and the ship had to be reconstructed periodically. This recreation of the ship leads to endless debates about what was real and if the copy had the same value. It has been speculated that this event lead to the birth of philosophy. This story reminds me of the debate in the video on sets vs reality etc. A conversation/debate that has been going on for centuries.

When I want to hear an artist speak about images I invariably return to Jeff Wall - but just one point of order: painting is circa 40,000 years old.

He denies the power and nature of what being recorded does to the behavior and consciousness of the recorded subject. In music, this is called red light fever. The vibration is altered when the performer is aware. Professionals, and those that practice and rehearse, over time, can remediate this. This altered vibe is what gives his photos the peculiarity even discomfort. I am not saying this is a bad thing.
