The Liquid Image or Seeing at the Limit of Drowning: Some Remarks on the Transformation of the Status of Images at the Beginning of the 21st Century - 2015.
65
In the post-historical multimedia moment that reigns nowadays in the so-called developed nations, images change their materiality, function, and meaning. From the invention of video to the incessant practice of “selfies,” something is at play that is on the order of a perceptual, intellectual and psychic mutation. The mirror itself is erased and is replaced by more complex self-images that aim to situate themselves in space-time rather than constitute a subject. In this open hole at the heart of our habitual ways of thinking, one world is falling apart while another is being born.
