Call For Papers

CFP: WALKING ON IMAGES (session at the Association for Art History 2020 annual conference, 1–3 April 2020)

Session Convenor: Michael Tymkiw (University of Essex, mtymkiw@essex.ac.uk)

For millennia, floors have served as an important site for displaying imagery, as evidenced by mosaic pavements, tomb slabs, rugs, and, more recently, floor-based works of fine art. In many cases, human beings have been encouraged to walk on such imagery—a mode of viewing that not only results in direct physical contact with images but also means that a spectator cannot view ground-based images without simultaneously seeing parts of his or her own body. In this respect, a spectator’s body at once completes and interrupts the imagery being viewed.

This session seeks to explore a range of issues broadly related to the theme of walking on images. Some possible topics for consideration include: the motivations for making and/or commissioning particular examples of “walkable” imagery; the conservation and restoration of floor-based imagery that has been effaced through walking; theoretical or transdisciplinary discussions of the figure-ground relationship during the act of walking on images; the dialogue between figuration and abstraction in floor-based decorative arts; or the extent to which the act of walking on imagery problematizes the very notion of the image, which is closely associated with resemblance and similitude.

To submit a proposal:
- Please fill out the proposal form, which can be found here:
