‘How To See The World’ - Glossary

“The postmodern changed modern skyscrapers from austere rectangular blocks into the playful towers, with kitschy and pastiche features, that now dominate skylines worldwide.” (Mirzeoff 12)

Kitschy- often thought to be poor in taste, tacky or pretentious. kitsch refers to art works which are purely decorative pieces rather than works which cause the viewer to engage their thinking further.

pastiche- art works which imitate someone else’s work or style

Nicholas Mirzeoff, ‘How To See The World’

-“A visual culture is the relation between what is visible and what names that we give to what is seen. It also involves what is invisible or kept out of site.” (Mirzeoff 11) 

-”Visual culture is something we engage in as an active way to create change, not just a way to see what is happening.” (Mirzeoff 14)
