Structured as an alternative guide to Rome, the book represents an interdisciplinary approach to creating a dynamic visual history that brings into view facets of the city’s diverse contemporary character. Thormod demonstrates that when artists successfully reconfigure Rome they provide us with visions that, being anchored in a present, undermine the connotations of permanence and immovability that cling to the ‘Eternal City’ epithet. Looking at the work of these artists, the reader is invited to engage critically with the question: what is Rome today? – or perhaps better: what can Rome be?Spatial Practices29.Art, Modern20th centuryThemes, motivesArt, Modern21st centuryThemes, motivesVisitors, ForeignPsychologyArtistsPsychologyRome (Italy)In artElectronic books.Art, ModernThemes, motives.Art, ModernThemes, motives.Visitors, ForeignPsychology.ArtistsPsychology.709.04Thormod Kaspar1984-1067999Bal Mieke1946-NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511808903321Artistic reconfigurations of Rome2552376UNINA
