A connection between our material reality and its representation—be it imagistic, mental or discoursive—has always been an important subject for philosophy. Ever since the ancient Greeks, the topic of the merits and dangers of images has been a point of contention among scholars. On the one hand, a tradition stemming from Plato views representation as suspicious, as a fundamental barrier between the ideal reality and its perceivers. Therefore, it is representation itself that is responsible for a division between our lived-in world and the true world of ideas (or true, material realities of existence), which is inaccessible, locked in behind the wall made of images.
