Abstract
This chapter aims to re-examine the issue of subjectivity in photographic practices. The first part focuses on photographers who introduce autobiographical texts in their work extending the subject of autobiography in photography to existential issues. New concepts in the field of autobiographical photography are introduced, such as the “photographer-as-subject” and “a photographic know thyself.” In the second part, the author's project “In and Out @ Ioannina.gr,” based on the layout of the polyptych, being an experimental attempt to holistically capture the city, is set under scrutiny. Details of everyday life, thoughts, rough notes, readings from book pages and images from the TV screen are photographed in order to reveal traits of the “photographer-as-human.” The photographic continuum of the city is scanned, depicting a complex and significantly subjective portrait of the city, of the photographer, and of the medium of photography itself. The aesthetics of the abundance of images is applied in this project.
