Description

On Not Looking: The Paradox of Contemporary Visual Culture explores the complex relationship between viewers and images in our visually saturated world. This collection examines how images function as sites of deliberate non-engagement, revealing that despite living amid endless visual content, we frequently overlook images, resist looking at them, or are actively discouraged from viewing them within institutional and exhibition contexts. Contributors analyse diverse visual materials including photographs, films, videos, press images, digital works, paintings, sculptures, and drawings sourced from everyday environments, museums, galleries, and formal institutional settings. The book investigates the paradox at the heart of contemporary visual culture: the gap between image proliferation and meaningful visual engagement. Part of Routledge's Advances in Art and Visual Studies series, this work offers critical insights into how exhibition design, context, and cultural practice shape our visual attention and inattention in the modern era.

Key Features
