Summary

The birth of photography in the 19th century was a decisive event in the history of visual arts - a media-technological revolution that also changed the conditions for literary creation. The continued collaboration of literature and photography left deep traces in the field of artistic production during the 20th and 2000s. Some of its expressions and effects are discussed in 'Writing with light', where Swedish, Danish and Norwegian authors move from the photographer Nadar's memoirs to the filmmaker Wim Wender's photo texts with hits by, among others, Gertrude Stein, André Breton, Ivar Lo-Johansson, Asger Jorn and Elias Canetti
Fotografins födelse på 1800-talet var en avgörande händelse i de visuella konsternas historia - en medieteknologisk omvälvning som förändrade förutsättningarna också för litterärt skapande. Litteraturens och fotografins fortsatta samverkan kom att sätta djupa spår i fältet för konstnärlig produktion under 1900- och 2000-talen. Några av dess uttryck och effekter diskuteras i 'Att skriva med ljus?, där svenska, danska och norska författare rör sig från fotografen Nadars memoarer till filmskaparen Wim Wenders fototexter med nedslag hos bland andra Gertrude Stein, André Breton, Ivar Lo-Johansson, Asger Jorn och Elias Canetti
