Falsifying reality
Property photos - capture the reality. Usually what proved photographed becomes not only proof of the existence of the object, but also an independent reality, which itself is already perceived as a true phenomenon existed.
The record aesthetics of photography - its monochrome, limited depth of field, stains left by sloppy developer - has become synonymous with objective reality. The event took on the reality of the past in the present only to the extent that it was reflected in the photos.
