Theatrical perspective part 2

In a world with a lack of stable horizons and certitudes, in a state of general disorientation amplified by the multiplication of visual technologies and the multiple perspectives they generate (Google Earth images, satellite views, drone videos) we must remember the artist and theorist Hito Steyerl and his essay In free fall: a thought experiment on vertical perspective (2011) which states that today linear perspective has become a “hostage” of the truth: “The vanishing point gives the observer a body and a position. […] While reinforcing the subject by placing him at the center of the vision, the linear perspective also undermines the individuality of the spectator by putting him under the seemingly objective rules of representation.”
