The other means of taming the Photograph is to generalise, to gregarise, banalise it until it is no longer confronted by any image in relation to which it can mark itself, assert its special character, its scandal, its madness. This is what is happening in our society, where the Photograph crushes all other images by its tyranny: no more prints, no more figurative painting, unless henceforth by fascinated (and fascinating) submission to the photographic model. Looking around at the customers in a cafe, someone remarked to me (rightly): “Look how gloomy they are! nowadays the images are livelier than the people!” One of the marks of our world is perhaps this reversal: we live according to a generalised image-repertoire. Consider the United States, where everything is transformed into images: only images exist and are produced and are consumed. An extreme example; go into a New York porn shop: here you will not find vice, but only its tableaux vivants (from which Mapplethorpe has so lucidly derived certain of his photographs); it is as if the anonymous individual (never an actor) who gets himself tied up and beaten conceives of his pleasure only if this pleasure joins the stereotyped (worn out) image of the sado-masochist: pleasure passes through the image: here is the great mutation. Such a reversal necessarily raises the ethical question: not that the image is immoral, irreligious, or diabolic (as some have declared it, upon the advent of the photograph), but because, when generalised, it completely de-realises the human world of conflicts and desires, under cover of illustrating it.^[1]
