SHORTLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE SOCIETY NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR
AWARD Looking can be an act of empathy or aggression. It can
provoke desire or express it. And from the blurry, edgeless world
we inhabit as infants to the landscape of screens we grow into,
looking can define us. In The Story of Looking, filmmaker and
writer Mark Cousins takes us on a lightning-bright tour - in words
and images - through how our looking selves develop over the course
of a lifetime, and the ways that looking has changed through the
centuries. From great works of art to tourist photographs, from
cityscapes to cinema, through science and protest, propaganda and
refusals to look, the false mirrors and great visionaries of
looking, this book illuminates how we construct as well as receive
the things we see. Brilliant and eclectic, The Story of Looking is
a photo album and an art gallery, a road movie and a visual
grammar: once you've read it, you'll never see things the same way
again.
