Margaret Tait Award winner Rachel Maclean’s latest film is a parable of the pleasures and perils of indulgence, and a wicked, waspish skit on a world where greed is good. The film is a provocative exploration of the commercialisation (and sexualisation) of childhood, and a corresponding infantilism in adults. A delirious confection of multi-layered images, made more extravagant by the artist’s trademark multi-character theatrics, this is Maclean’s most ambitious film to date.

内容简介
观看先于言语。观看确立了我们在周围世界的地位。他人的视线与我们的相结合，使我们确信自己置身于这可观看的世界之中。而当图像终于取代文字，充斥于视线所及的一切空间，我们又该如何观看而不致再度迷失？
本书论及机械复制时代的艺术品、女性作为被观看对象、油画传统、广告与资本主义等方面，配以两百余幅经典图像，与BBC同名纪录片一起，改变了西方一整个世代的观看方式，也必将适用于如今大大小小的手机屏幕和街边广告牌。从对视觉文化的深入探索和普及的角度而言，本书亦可与贡布里希爵士最杰出的著作互为补充。

我尊崇并热爱约翰•伯格的作品。他为世间真正重要之事写作，而非随性所至。在当代英语作家中，我奉他为翘楚；自劳伦斯以来，再无人像伯格这般关注感觉世界，并赋之以良心的紧迫性。他是一位杰出的艺术家与思想者。论诗意，他或许稍逊劳伦斯；但他更机敏、更关注公共价值，风度气节亦胜一筹。他是一位杰出的艺术家与思想者。

他不倦的窥探并非仅仅指向摄影与绘画，而是“观看”的诡谲。在我们可能涉及的有关观看的文献中，很难找到如此引人入胜的文字，这些文字有效化解了古典绘画被专业史论设置的高贵藩篱，也使照片摆脱过多的影像理论，还原为亲切的视觉读物。阅读伯格，会随时触动读者内心极为相似的诧异与经验，并使我们的同情心提升为良知。

撇开意识形态立场不谈，伯格目前在几个领域里都是不可不读的大家。例如艺术理论和艺术史，你能不看《观看之道》和《毕加索的成败》吗？假如你研究摄影，你能不读他的《另一种讲述的方式》吗？假如你喜欢当代英语文学，你一定会在主要的书评刊物读到其他人评介他的新小说。更妙的是，他随便写一篇谈动物的文章，也被人认为是新兴的文化研究领域“动物研究”的奠基文献之一。综合起来看，他就和苏珊•桑塔格一样，是那种最有原创力也最有影响力的公共知识分子；虽然不在学院，也不按学院的格式写作，却创造出了很多名牌大学教授一辈子也弄不出来的观念。而且他还要写得那么美，拥有那么多读者。反过来说，今天我们中国也很流行讲“公共知识分子”，但很惭愧，我们似乎还没有人及得上伯格这一流，还没有谁会有这样的知识上的创造力。
