Summary:

"Images are now so insidiously omnipresent that their nature has been obliterated. Once, photographs were indicators of reality, but today? Now that images of the whole world are being captured by everyone at every moment, what do images have to say? By considering the content and meaning of fixed and moving images, the artists and authors in this volume invite readers to cast a critical eye upon testimonials on offer. The essays are by Mara Ambrožič, Ami Barak, Mirna Boyadjian, Françoise Docquiert, Sophie Hackett, and Bénédicte Ramade. Micah Lexier contributed a special photographic project to the publication."--Page 4 of cover.
