His artwork both connects with and reacts to minimalism, conceptual art, staged photography, appropriation art, video art and, more recently, computer-based imaging. As a scholar his thinking is informed by phenomenology, semiotics, poststructuralism, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monograph provides a comprehensive and unique overview of Victor Burgin's body of work over the past five decades. Identifying the concept of 'psychical realism' as an overarching umbrella term, Alexander Streitberger traces back the artist's parallel unfolding of practice and theory, while situating this process within various historical contexts and critical debates. Five chapters link insightful case studies to key issues such as conceptual art and situational aesthetics, the relationship between representation and politics, postmodernist concepts of space, and the digital environment of media images. The book is richly illustrated and includes a sequence from the major work \u003ci\u003eDear Urania\u003c\/i\u003e especially designed by the artist for this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Streitberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462702462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462702462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 7.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Alexander Streitberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982642708735,"sku":"9789462702462","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b50b071a-6018-43b9-b6b3-e3c061d67dbe.jpg?v=1683262284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psychical-realism-alexander-streitberger-9789462702462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
