In the last decades of the nineteenth century, photography
underwent one of the most momentous transformations in its history,
a renegotiation of the camera’s relationship to the visible
world. Reasoned and Unreasoned Images considers in detail the work
of three photographic investigators who developed new uses for the
medium that centered on “the photography of the invisible”:
Alphonse Bertillon, Francis Galton, and Etienne-Jules Marey.
Bertillon attempted to establish a “science of identity” by
making photographic records of criminal bodies. Galton may be said
to have taken photographs of ideas: he sought to create accurate
yet abstract images of such entities as “the criminal” and
“the lunatic.” And Marey, a physiologist, created photographic
visualizations of nonvisible events—the positions through which
bodies pass so quickly that they cannot be seen. Ellenbogen
approaches the work of these photographers as a means to develop
new theoretical perspectives on questions of broad interest in the
humanities: the relation of photographs to the world and their use
as agents of knowledge, the intersections between artistic and
scientific images, the place of painting and drawing in
photography’s historical employment, and the use of imaging
technologies in systems of social control and surveillance.
