Abstract
The interview reveals some characteristics of Claass' biography.
Started as a photojournalist (1968), he escaped the profession
in 1972 to proclaim himself an artist-photographer. The
interview deals with Claass' photocritical work (which he
started after 1979). The why of his photocritical work is
described as ""writing to clarify his own ideas'' and ""help
others''. At that time (1979) photographic criticism is seen by
Claass as ""non-existent''. Writing on photography at that time
falls apart in ""pure photographic history'' and ""jargonism''
(meaning the prevaling semiothics of Barthes c.s.). Claass'
interest lies in ""photographic discours on photography''. The
influence of American photographers is discussed. (French)
