mondonoir: “Images are meditations between the world and human beings. Human beings ‘ex-ist’, i.e. the world is not immediately accessible to them and therefore images are needed to make it comprehensible. […] Human beings cease to decode the images and instead project them, still encoded, into the world ‘out there’, which meanwhile itself becomes like an image — a context of scenes, of states of things. Essentially this is a question of ‘amnesia’. Human beings forget they created the images in order to orientate themselves in the world. Since they are no longer able to decode them, their lives become a function of their own images: Imagination has turned into hallucination.” — Vilém Flusser, Towards a Philosophy of Photography (1983) Idris Khan, Every… Page of Vilem Flusser’s Book ‘Towards a Philosophy of Photography, 2004 [book excerpt here]
