Description
Pictorial Appearing Image Theory After Representation by Krešimir Purgar
This thought-provoking work explores how our understanding of images has changed in response to digital technology. Purgar argues that we are currently experiencing a transitional period, where images are no longer just representations but have become something more complex.
The author proposes the concept of "pictorial appearing", which draws on phenomenological, semiotic, and art-historical perspectives to examine how images appear and affect us. A comprehensive analysis of this evolving field of study, Pictorial Appearing Image Theory After Representation is a valuable contribution to our understanding of contemporary culture.
