Twenty years after cultivating a new orientation for aesthetics via the concept of nonphotography, Franois Laruelle returns, having further developed his notion of a nonstandard aesthetics. Published for the first time in a bilingual edition, PhotoFiction, a NonStandard Aesthetics expounds on Laruelles current explorations into a photographic thinking as an alternative to the wornout notions of aesthetics based on an assumed domination of philosophy over art. He proposes a new philosophical photofictional apparatus, or philofiction, that strives for a discursive mimesis of the photographic apparatus and the flash of the Real entailed in its process of image making. A bit like if an artisan, to use a Socratic example, instead of making a camera based off of diagrams found in manuals, on the contrary had as his or her project the designing of a completely new apparatus of philofiction, thus capable of producing not simply photos, but photofictions. One must enter into a space for seeing the vectorial and the imaginary number. Laruelles philofictions become not art installations, but theoretical installations calling for the consideration of the possibility of a nonstandard aesthetics being of an equal or superior power to art and philosophy, an aesthetics inthelastinstance that is itself an inventive and creative act of the most contemporary kind.
