Stuart Franklin

Recenzje

"By relating the concept of ambiguity to the image-viewer relationship, Stuart Franklin provides a major contribution to the debate about the communicative and interactive approaches within the visual arts. He shows that as representations are made readable, they are integrated into active processes of meaning-construction."-Professor Karen Fromm, University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Hannover "A well-informed and thoughtful book. Enriched with historical and theoretical references, the chapter on 'Time' gave me a greater understanding of the representation of time in photography/film."-Chino Otsuka, Photographer, Associate Professor of Film and Photography, Richmond, The American International University in London, UK
