| Summary: | The singularity of celebrity news is inseparable from photography. Photos constitute the vector through which information passes and the source of journalistic narratives. Paparazzi pictures are often regarded as blatant visual « bad taste », recycling in a derogatory fashion photography’s basic role as a documentary medium. The author questions the manner in which readers have access to what can be regarded as nothing less than stolen, or conceded, moments in the private lives of celebrities. By glorifying their gilded world and highlighting their weaknesses, this iconography acts through a complex system of « coming together » or proximity. |
