On Not Looking: The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture focuses
on the image, and our relationship to it, as a site of "not
looking." The collection demonstrates that even though we live in
an image-saturated culture, many images do not look at what they
claim, viewers often do not look at the images, and in other cases,
we are encouraged by the context of exhibition not to look at
images. Contributors discuss an array of images-photographs, films,
videos, press images, digital images, paintings, sculptures, and
drawings-from everyday life, museums and galleries, and
institutional contexts such as the press and political arena. The
themes discussed include: politics of institutional exhibition and
perception of images; censored, repressed, and banned images;
transformations to practices of not looking as a result of new
media interventions; images in history and memory; not looking at
images of bodies and cultures on the margins; responses to images
of trauma; and embodied vision.
