Into the Unseen unsettles our understanding of the photographic medium through a multisensory approach that engages its affective dimensions. In six chapters the book guides readers through sensorial encounters: “Frequencies of Darkness” explores darkness as a hinge between documentation and imagination; “Holding Everyday Life” focuses on the photo album as a haptic object made to be touched and held; “Listening to the Land” contemplates the traces of trauma and resistance in decolonized landscapes; “Tracing Sediments” explores images that carry inscriptions of loss, damage, recovery and reclamation; “Tasting, Touching, Feeling” turns to artists who push the boundaries of perception and social norms; and “Sensing Time” asks us to feel change from a non-human perspective. The book accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
