A philosophical critical text is put into a format of public space – the TV news station.  A television presenter from a TV station reads from a teleprompter during 2h19min19sec19frames the essays of the philosopher Susan Sontag ’On Photography’ published in 1977 by Farrar, New York. The professional news-speaker is challenged by the content, the language of Susan Sontag, which disturbs the professional nature of the protocol as a newscaster. For instance, the personal perspective the text takes and the fact, the media space she is acting in real-time is criticised.
