no its just photography
it could be any thing you want
the truth can be staged

pic related is an image by Jeff Wall
>Jeff Wall based this elaborately staged photograph on the prologue of Ralph Ellison’s celebrated 1952 novel, Invisible Man. The novel’s protagonist, an unnamed African American man, relates that he lives secretly “in my hole in the basement,” where he has “wired the entire ceiling, every inch of it” with 1,369 lights powered by illegally siphoned off electricity. In addition to the prologue, Wall drew from other parts of Invisible Man and his own imagination to create this scene. His intention was not to make a literal illustration of the text, but to give form to the picture it inspired in his mind, which he calls “accidents of reading.” As he has explained, many of his images begin “from accidents in the street—events I witnessed by chance. These pictures are like that, except that the accident occurred when I happened to be reading a book. I had the same feeling reading […] that I have had many times when seeing something occur on the street or in some other place, a feeling that an opportunity for a picture was presented to me.”1

see Jeff Wall's work if you are into photography theory or literary fiction photography or whatever you wanna call it.

photography is photography.
Lewis Baltz defines photography as "a profound corner that sits in between literature and film."

>Artworks are a currency, the OG bitcoins
maybe.
>That's why they have value
having value does not imply the art piece is good or bad but theory and critique does.
>Creation and art world are very different things
yeah that's why Daido Moriyama, HBC, Saul Leiter, Lewis Baltz, Ren Hang etc never got published, right?
>Pointless discussion methinks.
maybe for you, I don't know.
>Implying those are mutually exclusive.
it could be. this show your lack of understanding/research of conceptual photography.
