A work that defies the hegemony of the visual sense in the creation and reception of images. What synesthetic effects can they arouse?

After looking at a corpus of European and contemporary theoretical essays and famous images, a series of images are produced. These images explore the bridges between vision and the other senses.

 

Born from the final bachelor’s project at the American University of Beirut (AUB), this book was shaped under the thoughtful guidance of Reza Abedini, mentor of the project.
The book's photographs were realized with the artistic partnership of Omar Ramadan.
