Overview

"A reappraisal of Jean Baudrillard's thoughts on the image, radical illusion and media culture. Through a number of interviews and recent essays, Baudrillard introduces what he calls the ""stunning clarity"" of the photographic image, and outlines his present thoughts on urban reality and new media technologies, in light of his practice as a photographer. The book is illustrated with eight colour plates of Baudrillard's photographs and includes responses to his recent writings from Baudrillard scholars."
