One of Lacan’s problems was how to see the ‘Me taking pictures of Myself’[i] , that is the ability to unpack the fields of vision so that the subjective and the real would collapse into each other.
-----------------------------------------------------------‘Images mould us, transfix us, captivate us and alienate us. We become who we are partly through becoming like others. Far from being picture-capturing devices, humans are perpetually being caught by pictures. An image, or picture, is a human-capturing device’[ii]) .
