Post-Modernism

I have never really understand what postmodernism is. But after my research, i think considering in the context of photography, a post-modern is somebody who:-

- who show or produce a lot of his pictures, sometimes with himself or herself dressed-up as somebody unglamorous.

- Prints his photo big, like paintings

- Produces photos that look a bit like Cindy Sherman or Eggleston, or other examples of post-moderns.

- Positions himself as a mainstream artist who just happens to be using photography as a medium (but he isn't a photographer) This gets the work into big-time New York galleries that are for real artists, not photographers, and he can make a lot more money.

That is how it seems to me right now. Sometimes I have the feeling that I can't see the next evolution because I am living in the middle of it, and the changes are so slow, they go unnoticed to me. In my view, Classic example of post-modernism art is the Empire State building.
