Exploring the epistemological potential of meta- and inter-images.

Since the 1990s, when the question of the visual became central in various arts and humanities disciplines, images that refer to themselves as such or to other images have enjoyed an increasing interest. 'Meta- and Inter-Images in Contemporary Visual Art and Culture' partakes in, enriches and updates these debates. It investigates what meta- and inter-images can make known about the visual, in its own terms, by its own means.

The project of Sanne Peper about The Deep South, a highly complex and interesting part of the US has culminated in the publication of 'Slowtime, Alabama & The Beautiful Sadness', a fairytale-like photo/text book about good and evil, the human condition, an alt-right chipmunk who goes by the name of Jeremiah Day, and ultimately about the fear of the other. Half of the book consists of photographs, but Sanne Peper also wrote about things she experienced and the tales people told her. Of this sh...

By examining photography through geography and philosophy, this book makes evident that place is not the content of a definite representation. To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

What is it like to attend a museum today?

Hoe worden herinneringen bewaard – in archieven, in geheugens, in het landschap en op film? Beeldend kunstenaar en filmmaker Fiona Tan (1966, Indonesië) onderzoekt manieren waarop tijd wordt vastgelegd.

In deze publicatie staan haar werken Gray Glass (2020), Inventory (2012) en Footsteps (2022) centraal, de sleutelwerken in de gelijknamige tentoonstelling bij Eye. Hanneke Grootenboer reflecteert in een essay op de wijze waarop kijken, denken en tijd samenkomen in het werk van Tan. Daarbij ...

There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet “matter,” “material,” and “materiality” have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book’s contention that that multiplicity is also the field’s greatest a...

In 1999, a short video of a solitary boy kicking an empty bottle up a hill in Mexico City became the first instalment of Children’s Games, a series of works by artist Francis Alÿs (b. Antwerp, 1959). The ongoing project, which now numbers around thirty-five works, has gradually given shape to an extensive collection of videos of children at play. For almost twenty years, Alÿs and his collaborators Félix Blume, Julien Devaux, and Rafael Ortega have been travelling around the world to docu...

Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert’s skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention.

Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944–2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do t...
