Visual Power is a project dedicated to the impact and power of the image. It is an incredible international collection of photographs with accompanying commentary analyzing our visual literacy. How do we interpret the onslaught of imagery? This is the first in a series of very provocative collections on contemporary iconography. The power of the photograph to massage and influence the collective subconscious. Images and headline are super-imposed sometimes incongruous, always provocative, design-driven. The element of play begs for meaning. Mieke Gerritzen is the author of Everyone is a Designer, Catalogue of Strategies, and Mobile Minded.
