520 |a This paper discusses the work of the Canadian artist Jeff Wall who uses photographic technology to make and display his work. It argues that Wall is among the world’s leading artists and that the resulting works, while made with photographic technology, are not photography. Indeed, Jeff Wall is an anti-photographer whose work demonstrates the artist’s need to control the object of photography. While not arguing for an object-based aesthetics this paper makes the case for allowing the object (which seizes the attention of the photographer) at least some role in the process of creating the final image. It is precisely in his need to dominate and control the object through his process that Wall establishes himself as an important artist, but he is not a photographer.
