Detectability

Eyal Weizman coined the term ‘threshold of detectability’ to refer to when an object, such as a detail in a photograph, hovers between being identifiable and not. Therefore, its validity and truth are questioned. When the object is at this threshold, Weizman encourages us to see images as representations of reality whilst considering its materiality as an object with its own characteristics.
