h. and finally that interpretation by the picture-maker is part of the constructed "transforming vision- limited in photography to "what is shown or not shown- according to Berger.
In suggesting these things be considered, Berger was looking at photography in the overall context of its history to that time (1968) - which pre-dated the application of digital imaging manipulation. It has been noted that.

But specifically in this essay he was looking at photography in the political and social context of his own life, and we will consider this aspect first, because it shows the peculiarity of his vision. At that time, Berger was already a Marxist. He was born in 1926, had a 1930's childhood and like Picasso was influenced by the economic poverty of the times and the violent struggles between Fascism and Marxism (Guernica See image 1.). To many people of that era, the more obvious evil of the Fascists could only be counteracted by Marxism, which had close links with the more egalitarian principles associated with Christianity. However, from its practical beginnings in Russia, Marxism had been divorced from the spiritual and emotional aspects of humankind - limiting itself to the cult of the body and mind - the physical material and logical rational.

"Every photograph- being "a means of testing, confirming and constructing a total view of reality.
