Book Synopsis
This collection of essays presents a new multidisciplinary perspective on portraiture in the era of post-digital media

Trade Review
"Some studies of the portrait are portraits of their subject, describing a singular thing in detail. This is not such a book. Geil and Jirsa have instead built a kaleidoscope, encased the portrait in its reflecting surfaces, and allowed their contributors to rotate it into motion, yielding ever-changing views of the portrait as a generative operation of form, thought, abstraction, time, and media itself." -Eugenie Brinkema, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
