Description
The Story of Looking by Mark Cousins explores how our looking selves develop over time and the ways that looking has changed through the centuries. From great works of art to everyday photographs, Cousins examines how we construct as well as receive the things we see. This book is a unique blend of words and images, taking readers on a journey through the history of looking. It delves into the science behind perception, the power of propaganda, and the ways in which technology has transformed our relationship with visual media. Through its eclectic mix of art, film, and photography, The Story of Looking offers a fresh perspective on how we see the world and ourselves.
