The Present Image explores the world of images in the contemporary,
increasingly digitized, habitats of the world. Moving across a
theoretical spectrum that brings visual and digital culture in
touch with anthropology, political theory, phenomenology and
art-history, and based on the author's practice-based involvement
with images, the book argues against the idea of the digital as a
revolution in the world of images. "Present images" are the result
of a dialectic between the material and the immaterial, the manual
and the mechanical, the visible and the audible, the old and the
new. Offering an analysis containing simultaneously elements of
timeliness and timelessness, the book addressed practices such as
VR and 360 degrees, iDocs and action cameras in a dialogue with
classical art, religious iconography, early photography and
contemporary art. In the final chapter the book explores the
significance of images and image-making in the context of dying,
mourning and living.
