Crime Scenery in Postwar Film and Photography

Meer over het boek

The book delves into postwar art's exploration of landscapes void of human presence following violent events. It examines how viewing these sites alongside their associated crimes prompts a deeper inquiry into both the physical locations and their aesthetic representations. Engaging with diverse works from artists, filmmakers, and photographers, it traces the political and ethical implications of imagery in the aftermath of conflict. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the study seeks to uncover the complexities of perception and the role of landscapes in shaping our understanding of violence.
