Languages of publication
Abstracts
The aim of this article is to introduce a Canadian multimedia artist and war photographer – Rita Leistner – and her work. The first part of the paper deals with inspiration sources and reasons for creating her first book, Looking for Marshall McLuhan in Afghanistan, whilst the second part contains an interview with the photographer. The artist discusses her symbolic departure from everything encompassed as ‘human’ and the transition to the technological realm in modern war conflicts, as well as her own transformation as a result of witnessing somebody else’s suffering. Further, the artist analyses the current socio-political situation in the world and explores her approach towards modern art and, in particular, photography.
