FROM VISUAL ENVIRONMENT TO VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY
In the article on the example of the photographic project presented the concept of personal visual defence. In modern war of images is important a rationalization. In the situation of uncontrollable and addictive stream of images, the solution is not in increduility to the images and iconoclasm, but, as shown by the individual searching of the artist and his unique way of seeing, in recoding popular and often shocking images and concepts. Only image, reduced to functions, whether political or economic, is militant, but by itself, it is material for our imaginary. The entity of iconoclasm is not in the struggle against image, aspiring to the Ideal, but in the struggle for human, for his presence, immanent to the image, for his protective and life-giving support of the Ideal.
