Jacques Derrida remains a leading voice of philosophy, his works still
resonating today—and for more than three decades, one of the main
sites of Derridean deconstruction has been the arts. Collecting
nineteen texts spanning from 1979 to 2004, Thinking out of Sight
brings to light Derrida’s most inventive ideas about the making of
visual artworks. The book is divided into three sections. The first
demonstrates Derrida’s preoccupation with visibility, image, and
space. The second contains interviews and collaborations with artists
on topics ranging from the politics of color to the components of
painting. Finally, the book delves into Derrida’s writings on
photography, video, cinema, and theater, ending with a text published
just before his death about his complex relationship to his own image.
With many texts appearing for the first time in English, Thinking out
of Sight helps us better understand the critique of representation and
visibility throughout Derrida’s work, and, most importantly, to
assess the significance of his insights about art and its commentary.
