      This book explores gaps in communication, the boundaries of photography and language, and their interconnection in light of the fact that image and language are often complementary. If language and photographs are the most common carriers of our cultural experience, then this book, which discusses the limitations and pitfalls of both, is also about our human limitations and cultural constructions. Photographers, art historians, media theorists, and semioticians will find much of interest to their fields, but specialist knowledge isn’t required – the reader only needs to be intrigued by the functions of media, as it both expresses and confines human life.
