Cécile Poimbœuf-Koizumi & Stephen Ellcock - Clin d'œil
An unexpected collection of over 100 images spanning time and the history of representation, Clin d’œil brings together nearly every variation of that precious organ that allows us to see, to look, to discover — or simply to observe.
Following Jeux de mains, the first collaboration between Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi — publisher, curator and co-founder of Chose Commune — and Stephen Ellcock — curator, writer, researcher, and online collector of images — this second volume focuses on the motif of the eye in art. Present across all cultures and eras, the eye fascinates with its rich symbolism: spiritual, political, intimate, or mysterious. From Antiquity to contemporary art, over a hundred images, selected intuitively and without chronological order, form this visual constellation. This book celebrates the diversity of artistic perspectives on this small organ that has, over time, become a powerful universal symbol.
