An exploration of echoes and resonances through two millennia of visual culture, celebrating ten years of The Public Domain Review. Bringing together a remarkable collection of over 500 public domain images, Affinities is a carefully curated visual journey that illuminates connections through more than two thousand years of image-making. Based on a decade of archival exploration at The Public Domain Review, the book is compiled from a wide range of sources: from manuscripts to museum catalogs, ship logs to Victorian-era magic. The images are arranged in a unique and captivating sequence that unfolds according to a dreamlike logic, through a play of visual echoes and evolving thematic threads – eggs cracking juxtaposed with early Burmese globes, marble leaves meet tattooed castaways, and fireworks explode next to deep-sea corals. At once an art book, a resource, and a kaleidoscopic visual poem, Affinities is a unique and enchanting publication that will offer something different with each visit. Its playful and creative space invites the reader to transcend familiar categories of era, style, or historical subject, and instead delight in a new world of creative possibilities unfolding between the images – opening up new connections, modes of perception, and forms of knowledge.
