Description
Affinities by Brian Dillon is a critical and personal exploration of a sensation that defies categorization. Through discrete examples, including images from art, science, and everyday life, Dillon examines the concept of affinity - a connection between seemingly disparate things. This book is a series of linked essays that weave together reflections on affinity itself with close readings of various visual representations. From historical artworks to scientific illustrations, family photographs, and contemporary art, Dillon searches for commonalities in the ways we experience and respond to different kinds of images. The result is an extraordinary book about the intimate and abstract pleasures of reading and looking - a meditation on the complex relationships between objects, pictures, and our own perceptions.
