摘要

关于冠状病毒发出的各种信息的核心是如何应对一种看不见的威胁。然而,揭示隐形是一个古老的问题,可以追溯到几千年前,并在人类历史上反复出现。这篇文章是对几个长期存在的视觉比喻之间复杂的相互关系的探索,这些比喻在历史上从不同的文化中出现,以回应沟通无形力量的需要。从对1911年在德累斯顿举行的国际卫生展览会海报的反思开始,通过外射理论和对Robert Hooke通过手持透镜聚焦显微镜完成的第一幅画的思考,将埃及太阳神的图像联系起来,建立了一系列的联系和相互联系,探索了看不见的病毒是如何被代表的,以及看不见的病毒如何被解读为一种“暗星”或反太阳。基督教传统使用不自然的颜色来表示无形的力量和恶魔的附身,以及冠状病毒本身的描绘方式,与希腊东正教用来描绘超越时空的神圣时刻的光环和曼多拉等历史视觉比喻进行了比较。从佛教和基督教对光晕的使用到水雷的图像,揭示了一系列复杂的相互联系,这些联系现在正被政府批准的与冠状病毒爆发有关的信息传单所利用。

Revealing the invisible: The virus is looking at you
At the core of the various messages that have been sent out about the Coronavirus is how to deal with an invisible threat. Revealing the invisible is however an ancient issue, one that goes back thousands of years and reoccurs throughout human history. This article is an exploration of the complex interrelationship between several long-standing visual tropes that over historical time have emerged from various cultures in response to a need to communicate invisible forces. Beginning with reflections on the poster for the International Hygiene Exhibition of 1911 held in Dresden, linking in images of an Egyptian sun god, via extramission theory and thoughts about the first drawings done through a handheld, lens-focused microscope by Robert Hooke, a series of links and interconnections are made that explore how the invisible has been represented and how the invisible virus can be read as a type of ‘dark star’ or anti-sun. Christian traditions of the use of unnatural colour to signify both invisible power and demonic possession and the way the Coronavirus has itself been depicted are compared to historical visual tropes such as the aureola and the mandorla as used in the Greek Orthodox Church to depict sacred moments that transcend time and space. From Buddhist and Christian uses of halos via images of sea-mines, a complex series of interconnections are revealed that are now being tapped into by Government-sanctioned information leaflets relating to the Coronavirus outbreak.
