Thomas Stubblefield discusses 9/11 and the Visual Culture of Disaster

Synopsis

Though the collapse of the World Trade Center was “the most photographed disaster in history,” it failed to yield a single noteworthy image of carnage. On this episode, Thomas Stubblefield talks about how the absence within these spectacular images is the paradox of 9/11 visual culture, which foregrounds the visual experience as it obscures the event in absence, erasure, and invisibility.
