Description
Landscape with Light by Jon Thompson is a subtle and gorgeous book of cinematic ekphrasis. It explores the nature of visual culture, questioning whether we still worship the old god of beauty or have created a new one. In this thought-provoking work, Thompson makes fluid recalibrations of seeing and feeling into luminous phrases, capturing a form of organic thought in motion pictures. Thompson's language is at once illustrative and occult, as he quests for a higher light. This book invites readers to consider the power of light and its role in shaping our perceptions. With 79 pages of poetic prose, Landscape with Light is a unique and contemplative read.
