Opis

A fascination with the path not taken is a logical consequence of a world saturated with choices. Reinhuber theorises how this fascination finds shape in contemporary art forms, especially in photography and film. A fascinating exploration for scholars and students of Art, Media and the Humanities, and anybody with an interest in counterfactualism.
