Reviews
La vita sensibile (2011) is Emanuele Coccia's first book to be translated into English. Rendered as Sensible Life: a micro-ontology of the image, it comes with an insightful prologue by Kevin Attell, and it belongs to the excellent Commonalities series edited by Timothy Campbell...Sensible Life is not a book about the ontology of the image in the pictorial or phenomenological sense, but an investigation into the metaxy of existence and being in the world. -- -Gerardo Munoz Infrapolitical Deconstruction Initiative What Emanuele Coccia has done in Sensible Life is to create a path through which I might imagine myself-and all of us-richly obliged in the nature of the image, open to encounters that are not only of the material world, encounters that resonate as a whole that exists between the material, dematerial, psychological, and sociological spaces of things. Through Sensible Life, I partake in both the world I am in and the world I can see, whether in my mind, in my dreams, or on a glass slide. I want to do more with the layers of the world, more with the possibility of things manifested in my work. -- -Theaster Gates
