Antonio Molinero Cardenal demonstrates that it is possible to create images without a camera, but not without light, analyzing everything from the origins of this practice to its most contemporary manifestations. The work adapts and reproduces, for the first time in Spanish, numerous unpublished texts on the photogram, providing an essential historical framework for understanding one of the most experimental and fascinating branches of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author begins with the fundamental principle that photography is, above all, light. From there, he explores the history of the photogram, a technique that allows for the creation of images directly on photosensitive paper without the need for a camera or lens. The book covers the early experiments of the 19th century, the rise of the artistic avant-gardes of the 20th century, and the most recent proposals of the 21st century. In addition, it rescues and translates into Spanish a wide selection of historical texts on the photogram and related techniques, many of them previously unpublished in our language. The work not only documents these processes but also contextualizes them within the evolution of photographic and artistic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the photogram as a camera-less photographic technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative and experimental laboratory processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between light, matter, and image creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTranslation and recovery of fundamental historical texts on camera-less photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eArtistic avant-gardes and their influence on experimental photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEvolution of the photogram from the 19th century to the 21st century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at photographers, visual artists, art historians, and photography students interested in experimental techniques and alternative image-creation processes.
