In this collaborative work between artist and theorist Suzanne Anker and art historian Sabine Flach, the study of image production unveils the reality of pictures beyond their function as mere representations of the world. The visuals range from firsthand accounts of specimen collections in historical medical museums, to scientific research laboratories, to studies of plant propagation, among other themes concerning life forms and Bio Art. Focusing on systems of artistic knowledge, the authors demonstrate how context, scale and framing devices alter meaning in pictorial systems. Somatic responses, classification networks and image banks are explored as they relate to intersections in visual art and the biological sciences Contents: Suzanne Anker: Intimacy Unveiled – Sabine Flach: Through the Looking Glass: Encounters with Suzanne Anker’s Wonderlands – The Glass Veil – The Butterfly In the Brain – Rorschach – Origins and Futures - Stem Cells – Laboratory Life - Genetic Seed Bank – Biota - Carbon Collision of the Diamond Mind – Astroculture - Shelf Life – Vanitas (in a Petri Dish) - Remote Sensing
