RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Belting, Hans T1 How we exchange glances with images: The Image as the Matter of the Body JF Iluminace YR 2009 VO 21 IS 1 SP 53 OP 67 UL https://iluminace.cz/en/artkey/ilu-200901-0004.php AB The author asks the question whether we look at images or whether images are only realised in our gaze. Is the image a traditional object of observation or is it rather an act of our body? The author develops a theory of the trinity of image, medium and body. Visual culture is then not a collection of artifacts, but rather a sequence of repeating and changing events.
