This publication examines the evolution of the spectacle within visual culture over the last 120 years. Featuring works by over one hundred artists, the volume investigates how art has engaged with the sensational and the tragic, tracing a trajectory from the invention of film to the theatrical demands of contemporary event culture. It provides a critical analysis of how artistic practice has navigated the modernization of mass media and the increasing pressure to frame exhibitions as large-scale public affairs.
