On Politics of Perception (Cans of Worms)

Composed of over 70 different artistic, contextual references and works by Tim Ross, On Politics of Perception uses Tim’s grandfather’s archive from wwii as a point of departure to criticise and reflect on contemporary image culture and consumption. The book focuses on questions regarding depictions of violence and our personal interactions with screen-based realities. The interrogative nature of the publication passes through emotional, intellectual and artistic layers—considering topics that sometimes drown in the midst of our everyday. It aims to address the complex relationship we have with the image—an object we interact with on a daily basis, yet barely know how to decipher and often blindly trust.
