Akt obrazu

The first Polish translation of Horst Bredekamp's "Der Bildakt" has been published. Horst Bredekamp, a professor at Humboldt University in Berlin and an art historian, focuses on image theory, political iconology, and scientific illustration. In his work, Bredekamp explores how images influence human emotions, thought processes, and behavior. He invites readers to consider how their own perspective shifts into an interaction with the world they encounter. According to Bredekamp, this interaction unfolds in three dimensions: the schematic dimension, which results from mimicking gestures, poses, and image patterns; the substitutive dimension, involving an exchange between images and the body; and the autonomous dimension, representing the intrinsic impact of the form itself.
