(29 agosto 2017) Many images have achieved the status of visual convention in the areas, for example, of human evolution or the structure of the atom. Massimiano Bucchi and Elena Canadelli’s Nature immaginate is a collection of images whose visual dimension has had a significant impact on the wider social and cultural conceptions and perceptions of the natural world. The text will be illustrated during a conference promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in Dublin on August 31 (18.30-20). Professor Massimiano Bucchi (Università di Trento) will retrace the story of each image and document its social and cultural impact through the mediums of painting, cinema, comics and advertising.
