The Transported Man

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of art and perception, this book features a foreword by Marc-Olivier Wahler that connects a contemporary art exhibition to a teleportation magic trick from Christopher Priest's novel The Prestige. An interview with curator Christophe Kihm delves into how the brain interprets art and the language used to discuss it, shaping the future of museums. The collection includes an original essay by Priest and a text by Francis Ponge, emphasizing the significance of belief and visual perception in understanding art.
