Street Ghosts: Surveillance & The Unrepresentable

“Rancière quite correctly points out that the opposite of representation is not non-figuration, which is to say not modernism. Instead he suggests that one might look to realism for the most non-representational form, for in realism everything is leveled and equally representable, and ‘this “equally representable” spells the ruin of the representative system.’” (Alex Galloway)
