The three pictures on the wall mean very different things to different people. A photograph might convey a feeling of profound sadness, or even exhilaration. For example, when you first see it, you may jump to the conclusion that it must be the last picture ever taken by man. A photograph, then, is not just any old picture, but a process through which, over and over, the reconstruction of a single, identical image presents itself to the mind in such a way as to form a narrative. A photograph thus constructed constitutes a lie, and the deception is apparent from the start: the deception is expressed in the perceived image, the object, the time, and the space. It is these three elements that compose the pictures on the wall: the object, the time, and the space.
