The Kardashians are back. Photography endures a fever like popularity in recent decades. Roland Barthes talks about mother, memories and the medium in the language of rhetorics. He doesn’t think in light and colors but in the methodology of writers, writings, free writings and creative writings. It makes pictures absurd. It makes them take on the edge of cultural criticism. It makes time precious in these image making tidbits. Spending time to make one picture or photograph has made people anxious due to the wait, the labours spent and the resources used. If people can make multiple pictures they are surely liberated from the ordained labours of time. Kim Kardashian is Donald j. Trump in drags. They are one and the same person. Her photographs, photography, selfies all point to this presidential authority on public consciousness. Etc.
