Warped Space: Art, Architecture, and Anxiety in Modern Culture

By Anthony Vidler

Book Overview

Beginning with agoraphobia and claustrophobia in the late 19th century, followed by shell shock and panic fear after World War I, phobias and anxiety came to be seen as the mental condition of modern life. They became incorporated into the media and arts, in particular the spatial arts of architecture, urbanism and film. This spatial warping is now being reshaped by digitalization and virtual reality.
