"Ted Hiebert is thoroughly familiar with the literature and practices of the arts, photography, media and technology studies, and contemporary philosophy. In Photographing Ambiguity, through evocative examples of photographic art, Hiebert raises and responds to essential questions of our moment: the role of the arts and photography, (post-)truth ‘identity’ and ‘authenticity,’ the (ir)real, and the inevitability of ambiguity, which in the hands of artists and philosophers is a good thing. I want to emphasize not only how much I enjoyed this book, but how much I learned from it."
