Professor Wiesing holds the Chair of Image Theory and Phenomenology at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany. He is a leading authority in the emergent field of Bildtheorie, which brings together a range of theoretical, conceptual and historical resources to analyse the specific nature and function of images. His book Artificial Presence: Philosophical Studies in Image Theory has been translated by Stanford University Press (2010). The Philosophy of Perception: Phenomenology and Image Theory will appear in English later this year.

The first public lecture, Making Visible: Showing with Images, will take place on Wednesday 1st May at 3pm in the Old Masters’ Studio at 74 High Street, OX1 4BG.  A flyer is also attached.
