The advent of photography revolutionized perception, making visible
what was once impossible to see with the human eye. In At the Edge
of Sight, Shawn Michelle Smith engages these dynamics of seeing and
not seeing, focusing attention as much on absence as presence, on
the invisible as the visible. Exploring the limits of photography
and vision, she asks: What fails to register photographically, and
what remains beyond the frame? What is hidden by design, and what
is obscured by cultural blindness? Smith studies manifestations of
photography's brush with the unseen in her own photographic work
and across the wide-ranging images of early American photographers,
including F. Holland Day, Eadweard Muybridge, Andrew J. Russell,
Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, and Augustus Washington. She concludes
by showing how concerns raised in the nineteenth century remain
pertinent today in the photographs of Abu Ghraib. Ultimately, Smith
explores the capacity of photography to reveal what remains beyond
the edge of sight.
