Description

LIFE AND DEATH OF THE IMAGE

‘There was “magic” as long as poorly-equipped humans were reliant on the mysterious forces that annihilated them. Later, there was “art”, when things that depended on us were at least as many as things that remained independent. The ‘visual’ began when we acquired sufficient power over space, time and bodies to no longer fear their supremacy.’ Régis Debray traces a history of the inexhaustible power of images and vision in the West by identifying three different ‘eras’, and by using the apparatus of philosophy, history, anthropology and archaeology. Debray reinterprets the role of the image and its medium from its original connection with death and absence, as far as the new age of the videosphere and digital technology: “Here, art history has to step aside in the face of the history that made it possible: the look we give things that represent other things.” Introduction by Marco Pierini.

BRIAN ENO. REFLECTED

20,00€
TEXTS BY: Arian Eno, Tom Phillips, Marco Pierini

«What I think we are doing when we find pleasure in sex, drugs, art and religion is we are rehearsing our ability to surrender. So, this brings us, having taken a very long way round, to why I think this is what I would like to see in a church now. If you try to imagine what the effect of those pieces of work, the works by Beato Angelico, Perugino, Piero della Francesca, the effect those works must have had on the 15th or 16th century eye: that is what I’m trying to recreate. I should be humbler than I am, but I’m trying to com- pete with them in 21st century terms. I’m trying to say “this is what I think should be in churches now”» (B. Eno)
