On Not Looking: The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture focuses on the image; and our relationship to it; as a site of "not looking." The collection demonstrates that even though we live in an image-saturated culture; many images do not look at what they claim; viewers often do not look at the images; and in other cases; we are encouraged by the context of exhibition not to look at images. Contributors discuss an array of imagesmdash;photographs; films; videos; press images; digital images; paintings; sculptures; and drawingsmdash;from everyday life; museums and galleries; and institutional contexts such as the press and political arena. The themes discussed include: politics of institutional exhibition and perception of images; censored; repressed; and banned images; transformations to practices of not looking as a result of new media interventions; images in history and memory; not looking at images of bodies and cultures on the margins; responses to images of trauma; and embodied vision.
