After-Affects After-Images

Meer over het boek

Exploring the relationship between art and trauma, this book delves into whether artists move away from or towards their traumas and how these experiences manifest in their work. It questions whether art can transform trauma without providing a complete resolution, focusing on the role of artists as both creators and interpreters of personal and collective histories. Additionally, it examines how viewers engage with artworks that carry the weight of trauma, seeking connections and transformations through these emotional and historical traces.
