Photography, like any art, is connected with many aspects of human thought. It kindles the process of thinking and it gets across various aspects of understanding the reality by all photography lovers. From the beginning, photography has been considered as the mimetic medium and that fact contributes to its specificity. Does this mean that the term ‘abstract photography’ is not self-contradictory? Doesn’t it destroy the specificity of the medium, which always reflects adequately trimmed or transformed reality? It can be considered that photography is never abstract, because it always registers some events and documents facts or at least their elements. However, it can be considered as abstract when we move to the level of meaning and narration which (paradoxically) lost their meaning. Photography becomes therefore a narrative without specific (original) meaning, saturated at the same time with other infinite meanings, which it reveals and which lie in its potential, and that the on-looker may see in a never-ending process.
