Photographic modernism celebrated the machine or technology:

Wolfgang Sievers, B.H.A.S., Pt. Pirie, 1967
It was a machine aesthetic reduced to form. This relatively stable aesthetic of Fordist modernism has given way to ferment and instability.
This photographic modernism does not question the way of seeing of European vision embodied in the observing eye. It is still part of the visual regime.
