Example text
We are reminded that visual experiences do not exist within a pure space, but are products of context and culture. Moving away from the rarefied air of the art gallery, into an approach which is alert to all kinds of visual communication establishes visual cultures in the terrain of the everyday. Mirzoeff states that visual culture ‘is not just part of your everyday life, it is your everyday life’ (Mirzoeff 1998: p. 3), a statement that recognises the essentially visual nature of modern (and post-modern) experiences of the world.

14). I would challenge Rogoff’s limiting of spatial visual culture to the urban – indeed this book hopes to contribute to a field of study which works from the basis that rural environments are subject to design, construction and convention in different yet comparable ways to urban environments and as such, this research broadens the territory of visual culture. Spatial locations aside, Rogoff’s description of the field of visual culture not only emphasises the broad range of visual manifestations available for study, but also that visual experience is a matrix of intersecting stimuli that do not necessarily belong to the primary visual artefact.
