Seeing Volume 3

Seeing is a series of books that contemplates the peripheries of what we consider visually perceptible, comprehensible, or expressible. If what we find here are images, then they attempt to elude our awareness. They may appear volatile, fleeting, impermeable, enigmatic, disquieting, inferior, or irrelevant, and therefore we tend to spurn or disregard them. Each book in this series assembles contributions that navigate a constellation of related ideas, allowing a reciprocal meditation on and renewed attention to what usually remains hidden from our gaze.

Seeing Volume 3 explores how time and space-shaped by imagination-slip from familiar structures and resist a linear reading. Such experiences often evade our typical visual and conceptual understanding, emerging at the fringes of what we consider perceptible or comprehensible. The volume brings together contributions from artists, designers, filmmakers, and thinkers who engage with these shifting terrains. In doing so, they invite a renewed awareness to the overlooked aspects of our experience of the visual world, questioning the boundaries between fact and fiction, presence and absence.
