| description | The word/image relationship, now often thought of as an intermedial feature, is a paradoxical plastic object. It is a kind of apparatus which triggers a “reading event”, provokes the phenomenon of “double exposure” and creates a “double fiction”. It eventually gives rise to the “pictorial third”, an in-between composite picture resulting from the phenomenological experience of the reading event. The intermedial transaction is an artistic negotiation which works on the oscillating mode, when image bargains its inscription with/in the text and demands transposition. Recent books like The Lazarus Project by A. Hemon or, more well-known now, W.G. Sebald's books include pictures in the texts which cause a suspension in the reader's experience and have to be taken into account per se as images to be “read” while conversely texts are being “seen”. This causes a kind of “syncopation of the visual” which is part of the whole reading event and must be acknowledged by intermedial criticism. |
