When was photography invented, in 1826 with the first permanent
photograph? If we depart from the technologically oriented accounts
and consider photography as a philosophical discourse an
alternative history appears, one which examines the human impulse
to reconstruct the photographic or "the evoking of light". It's
significance throughout the history of ideas is explored via the
Platonic Dialogues, Iamblichus' theurgic writings, and Marsilio
Ficino's texts. This alternative history is not a replacement of
other narratives of photographic history but rather offers a way of
rethinking photography's ontological instability.
