Summary:
Luca Del Baldo's Visionary Academy of Ocular Mentality is an extraordinary testament in the recent history of visual studies. It brings together a group of outstanding scholars who have devoted their lives to art history, philosophy, history, ethnology, focussing predominantly on questions of human perception and imagination. Working from photographs provided by the scholars, Luca del Baldo painted his series of 96 portraits reproduced in this book. The portraits are accompanied by texts written by the persons portrayed, in response to their portrayal, and as an exchange: the artist gifted the original painting to the portrayed person, and the portrayed gifted her or his response. "The result is a unique and profound conversation between image and text focussed on the enigma of the human face in all its mediations." (W.J.T. Mitchell)
Luca Del Baldos Visionary Academy of Ocular Mentality ist ein außergewöhnliches Projekt zur jüngeren Geschichte der Visual Studies. Basierend auf Fotografien porträtierte der Künstler eine Reihe von herausragenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die ihr Leben der Kunstgeschichte, Philosophie, Geschichte und Ethnologie gewidmet haben und sich in ihren Forschungen grundlegend mit Fragen der menschlichen Wahrnehmung und Vorstellungskraft beschäftigen. Del Baldo machte seine Porträts den Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern zum Geschenk und bat diese im Gegenzug um kurze Texte zu den Gemälden. „Das Ergebnis ist eine einzigartige und tiefgreifende Konversation zwischen Bild und Text, die sich auf das Rätsel des menschlichen Gesichts in all seinen Vermittlungen konzentriert.“ (W.J.T. Mitchell)
