The advent of digital technology has brought about a significant transformation in our visual perception and the way we interpret concepts such as representation, immersion, and virtuality. In his insightful work, Kresimir Purgar delves into the core topics fundamental to understanding the contemporary culture of images. The central thesis of this volume posits that we are currently in a transitional phase where images are evolving beyond mere representations and towards a state of immersion. Instead of solely focusing on the meaning of images, Purgar encourages us to contemplate the very nature of images, their appearance, and the impact they have on us.

To address this, the author presents a comprehensive concept of pictorial appearing, which encompasses phenomenological, semiotic, and art-historical perspectives on both ancient and modern images. By integrating these diverse viewpoints, Purgar offers a rich and multifaceted understanding of the visual realm. Through his meticulous analysis, he sheds light on the evolving nature of images, their role in shaping our perception and experiences, and the potential implications of this transformation for the future of art and culture.

This volume is a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in exploring the dynamic world of images. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the past, present, and future of visual representation and offers insightful perspectives on the complex interplay between images, language, and society. Whether you are a seasoned art historian or a newcomer to the field, Purgar's work will undoubtedly deepen your appreciation for the power and significance of images in our lives.
