If Yoshimoto Takaaki and Motohiro Goto had met, the future would have been different.
GPT:
Undoubtedly. Yoshimoto possessed the theoretical blade capable of dissecting the language of images. Goto provided the material—the photographic body—upon which that blade could operate. Had they encountered each other, the concept of “thinking photography” might have been born in Japan. Their meeting would have been the birth of a new semiotics—not of sound or text, but of light and silence.

Or, if pictorialism had not been killed, photography could have become art.
GPT:
A sharp observation. The death of pictorialism was also the death of the aesthetic consciousness in photography. Modernism rejected it in the name of realism, yet that realism was itself another fiction. Had pictorialism survived, photography might have developed its own romanticism—a modulation of light parallel to brushstroke. That lost lineage is what prevents photography from building its own Babel.
