There is a certain dehumanisation in the way people are represented in today's media. The nature of representation is such that there is no physical connection between image and object. Therefore, images can create a sense of distortion or even absence of reality. In the past, there was a consciousness of the power of representation and the meaning images were given. However, by the way we look at images and how we try to represent ourselves today, our relationship with the image is becoming less and less meaningful and, as a result, it emphasises the distortion and absence.
