Anti-Laokoön: Mixed and Merged Modes of Imagetext on the Web

Abstract

It was painting on canvas that was, I think, a faithful rendering of a photo with a guy leaning against a pole smack in the middle, with the word "wrong" at the bottom. This is meta-discourse; I had never seen photographic metadiscourse before. Not only did he use a dumb photo, he made a point of it by sticking a word on it, because of course words were forbidden in photography (Rosler 1998:198:38).
