Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like Werner Hertzog's Lessons of Darkness, Invisible sets out to push at our understandings of art and political commentary by refusing to fall comfortably into either category. Paglen makes use of telescopic photography to produce images of restricted governmental spaces; that the formalist beauty many of these images contain is irrelevant to the content they reach across space to uncover would seem to be the point.Those looking for hard data and fist-thumping theatrical protest will be disappointed, as will those in search of a traditional exemplar of the photographic aesthetic. But for those interested in suggestive gazes into the shadow government, and the aesthetics of technology pushed to its limits, this is a book well worth exploring and mulling over. The first step into penetrating the covert machinations of power is to learn new ways to see the apparent world around us; Invisible marks a brave step towards this knowing vision.
