This time we discuss the book by John Berger - "Ways of Seeing".
This is one of the most influential books in the field of visual culture. In it, Berger explores how culture, media, art history, and personal experience affect our perception of images. He shows that no image is "neutral": what and how we see is always determined by context — from painting to advertising, from museums to mass media.
The book will be interesting for photographers, artists, researchers, and anyone who works with visual media or wants to better understand how our perception is formed.
Read and come share your thoughts at the book club.
