Post-photography does not simply indicate new photography. Rather, it implies the returned photography with new aspects, and the practically and theoretically expanding photography. In contemporary art, photography has overcome its traditional myth of the faithful duplication of reality. While it cannot be denied that the firm belief on photography has disappeared, the praise for the traditional myth is still going on. The collapsed belief plays roles not only in escaping the concept of photography as duplication and documentation, but also in supporting opportunities to reconsider the concept of representation. The conceptual interpretation and the aesthetic consideration of digital photographic images are coming out in these days. These blessings are the responsibility for the pioneering task of photography. Beyond the traditional photography, post-photography is intriguing various and multilateral discourses, and it would be necessary to reconsider photography in the age of new art media.
