Pictorial Appearing. Image Theory After Representation

This book examines some of the topics fundamental for the understanding of contemporary culture of images. For example, how has our perception changed with the proliferation of digital technology and how does that affect the meaning of terms like representation, immersion and virtuality. The principal thesis of the book is that we are witnessing the transitional period of images as not- representation-anymore and not-yet-immersion. Instead of just asking what images mean, we should ask ourselves what images are, how they appear and what they do to us. The author proposes the encompassing concept of “pictorial appearing” that takes into account phenomenological, semiotic and art historical perspectives on both old and new images.
