The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the Unconscious

Meer over het boek

Focusing on anti-portraiture, this collection features photographs where subjects avert their gaze, obscuring their faces or closing their eyes. Compiled by collector W.M. Hunt over 30 years, it includes works from renowned photographers like Richard Avedon and Diane Arbus, alongside lesser-known artists. The over 350 images evoke a spectrum of human experiences, from memory to grief, presented through a personal narrative by Hunt that explores the motivations behind collecting. The sequencing creates an unnerving yet captivating experience.
