À propos du livre
“In an age of mass-produced mediocrity, algorithmic conformity, and over-reliance on the technical manipulation of art, Shadowscapes offers a refreshing and disruptive foray into the realms of creative possibility.
These images challenge our senses and sensibilities, confronting themes of beauty, violence, trauma, identity, and transgression."
- Dr. Cesare Wright - ***Vol. 3 Overview*** -
The artistic theme of abstraction allows us to gain insight into our world precisely through a strategic distancing from the literal, the actual, and the real. Rather than relying on the indexicality of our manifest real-world experience, abstraction draws meaning from subjective association, poetic expression, and creative interpretation.
Artistic abstraction allows us to transcend the confines of the tangible and the familiar, inviting us to engage with more profound or essential truths. Pioneering filmmaker Werner Herzog outlines a concept of "ecstatic truth" - a profound truth encounter, akin to the philosophical sublime, which cannot be experienced directly through factuality and actuality, and can only be evoked through mediated processes of "fabrication, stylization, and imagination." To this end, abstraction provides a vehicle for engaging phenomena and experiences that defy traditional inscription, evoking the possibility of a transformative encounter with the ineffable, the intangible, and the unrepresentable.
