Touring the Other Reality
Photos and words by Deshan Tennekoon
This reportage is based on a quote by Susan Sontag from her 1977 collection of essays, On Photography; "Essentially the camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own."
I'm interested in the meta-narratives that emerge when we look at other people in the act of making pictures, rather than at the pictures they make.
Deshan Tennekoon is a documentary photographer. He was awarded a Fulbright Foundation Award to conduct a photography project in 2009.
