The Drumhead: édition bilingue (anglais / allemand) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The Imagines is based on the texts of four writers that each engage with a recent project by Ines Lechleitner. In response to each critical contribution, Lechleitner develops a visual section where elements and fragments of the selected projects build up their own narrative in relation to the specific space of this book. The title borrows from a pedagogical text by Philostratus, a Greek sophist. The purpose of the original text was to act as a guide for Roman students on the paintings of their culture. The paintings are described in such a detailed and sensory manner that the reader can imagine standing in front of them. Paradoxically, it is not known if these paintings ever existed.
