Photography has always served as a tool for representation and documentation, and images have gradually emerged in forms such as symbols and evidence, even being edited, appropriated, and reinterpreted. This study will experiment with the concept of "reaction": starting from the process of generating images, it examines how signifiers are shaped or altered through the interaction between the medium and the presentation context. By analyzing the presentation forms in photography after modernism and its intersections with other artistic domains, this research explores whether the "reactions" can become a mode of extending everyday documentation and prolonging the gaze—especially in the context of images rapidly spreading, evolving, and being inundated.
