Authorship refers to the person who has legal ownership of an image which may have been shared, on social media for example.
Circulation is the way in which we go about sharing these images. Dictionary definition is 'the public availability or knowledge of something'.
The images we upload to social media are accessible by anyone in the world. If they have this level accessibility, couldn't others use the photographs that we have chosen to share with the world and use them to create their own pieces of art? Who would the photographs belong to in this case?
Michael Wolf
"Real Fake Art"
German artist and photographer can be used as an example. In this series of photographs, Wolf, takes pictures of his subject holding pieces of art that aren't his own. Wolf doesn't have authorship of the piece of artwork in the image, but he does have authorship of the photograph of someone holding the piece.
