David Campany

David Campany creates these books with photography in them. This group of photos he did is called Gasoline. He put these photographs into a book to explain how the society is seen back then through the mass media (books, magazines, etc.).

He explains how photography is seen for its history and now how it should be interpreted. When they are put into these books on the pages, it changes them for what they are.

This has such a powerful meaning behind how Campany did this project. Sometimes pictures in books are overlooked by people and just because they are in them, can be seen in a different way. As opposed to on a screen or single one held in your hand as a developed photograph. They can lose their artistic meaning than the photographer was trying to portray. Which in turn can make how society thinks about the photograph, also different.
