Susan Sontag's collection of essays "On Photography" was first seen as a series of essays published in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book that made her famous, Sontag concludes that the widespread distribution of photography leads to the establishment of a relationship between a person and the world of "chronic voyeurism," as a result of which everything that happens begins to be on the same level and acquires the same meaning.
