The Birth of the Idea of Photography

Shane Lillis — 2019-09-11T14:08:00Z

A milestone work that examines the democratic idea of photography and its expansion in common culture, particularly in the United States ; generously illustrated.
This influential text by French historian and theorist François Brunet considers the invention and history of photography as the birth of an idea, rather than a new type of image. This “idea photography” combines a logical theme—that of an art without artistry—and the democratic political promise of an art for all. Officially (…)

Shane Lillis — 2018-11-22T07:54:00Z

2018 est le bicentenaire de la première publication, anonyme, de Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne par Mary Shelley : c'est l'occasion d'interroger les postérités d'une œuvre majeure du XIX^e siècle, qui a été constamment réécrite et réinventée depuis.

Atlas, or the Anxious Gay Science

Shane Lillis — 2018-06-21T10:54:00Z

« Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas (1925–1929) is a prescient work of mixed media assemblage, made up of hundreds of images culled from antiquity to the Renaissance and arranged into startling juxtapositions. Warburg's allusive atlas sought to illuminate the pains of his final years, after he had suffered a breakdown and been institutionalized. It continues to influence contemporary artists today, including Gerhard Richter and Mark Dion. In this illustrated exploration of Warburg and his (…)
