I think this reading reminded of a time a long time ago when I though of photography as a very different art form. I thought of it more as a art of documentation and capture, and when I look at photography now and in the this book, that idea has broadened hugely. I suppose many of the work shown in this reading made me think of installation or performance art, but it really is more of a part of it. 

Ballad of Sexual Dependency was one example. But the work itself that told a story had to be shared and what seemed the best way possible was through the slideshow. I remember my dad showing his pictures with our slideshow, and I know he has them stored away in a box as well as on a hard drive. Seeing slide film disappear nowadays makes me a little sad to se such an iconic method of sharing art go.
