Photography is illusion. The images shine in the eyes of the viewer, giving him the impression of being in front of a mirror that reflects the world. But it is precisely because of this aspect that photography hides the existence of the author and presents itself as something that is above good and evil, something that is “only real.” Innumerable discussions have occurred regarding the use of photography as an instrument of ideological persuasion, precisely as a result of this apparent neutrality regarding the world, which is, without a doubt, an inexhaustible source of political persuasion. This article sheds light on this debate by focusing on the experience of working class photographers in Germany, with their proposal of creating a classed-based esthetic.
