&lt;p&gt;Abstract&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, the question of what a material picture is and what is meant by an image is discussed. We do not clearly distinguish whether we mean a physical object, a pictorial representation or a mental image that arises in our brain. The pictorial surface of a material carrier is the interface between the physical picture and the mental image. In contrast, our way of speaking of a pictorial representation works quite differently. Material picture and pictorial representation are structurally coupled. The representation cannot exist without a material carrier. The material picture&amp;nbsp;embodies&amp;nbsp;the pictorial representation like the actor embodies the role. The pictorial representation is only partially determined. It contains spots of indeterminacy that are filled up by the viewer&amp;rsquo;s imagination. Gibson invented the word&amp;nbsp;affordance&amp;nbsp;as a replacement for the concept of value. Affordances are what things offer a living being, what they &amp;lsquo;provide&amp;rsquo; or &amp;lsquo;allow&amp;rsquo; it to do. The fundamental problem with his theory lies in the attempt to construct a &amp;lsquo;direct&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;unmediated&amp;rsquo; approach to reality. The objectivism implicit in his theory oversees that affordances are neither &amp;lsquo;given&amp;rsquo; nor &amp;lsquo;direct&amp;rsquo; &amp;lsquo;properties of objects. Affordances are the result of active attribution and evaluation by a scientific observer. The photographic series of Paul Graham&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;a shimmer of possibility&amp;nbsp;exists in different materialities, namely as various photobooks and sequences of photographic colour prints on the wall, which provide different affordances. The photobooks and the photographic sequences are embedded into a space of potentiality out of which they are&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;brought to actuality through a concrete process of aesthetic experience.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
