ABSTRACT

Bernard Foucon's creation process started in 1976 and ended voluntarily in 1995. The theme of his creation is very clear. Childhood is the most infatuated life stage of Foucon. He spent his whole life photographing children's childhood, or recalling or remembering his childhood in children's photography with such themes, which seems to be constructed as a way to fight against the progress of current media technology. Neil Bozeman said "the disappearance of childhood". Neil Bozeman is one of the most important media culture researchers in the world after McLuhan. He initiated the major of media ecology at New York University. He believes that the powerful media can redefine the real world with a hidden but powerful hint power, and even shape the cultural spirit of an era. In fact, people live in the huge metaphorical world created by the media without knowing themselves, so he developed the theory of "media is information".
