Daniele Genadry's Seethrough Mountain Explores Materiality in ARTMargins Online

Daniele Genadry's work Seethrough Mountain, published on ARTMargins Online on March 25, 2020, disrupts the journal's format through physical alterations in paper, texture, and scale. It comprises a drawing and a constructed photograph, both generating illusions of transparency to shift the reader's focus toward the material foundations of images. This intervention creates a moment of hesitation, prompting consideration of the qualitative and material aspects of the held object. By emphasizing the nature of varying information forms, the piece argues that both sensual and intellectual awareness are essential for perceiving reality. The content is freely accessible via MIT Press, highlighting its availability as open-source material. The work's shock effect aims to reveal the material conditions underlying representations, challenging conventional engagement with media.
