Seeing the World Through Shape
How do humans make sense of the world? In answer to this timeless question, award winning documentary filmmaker, Lois Farfel Stark, takes the reader on a remarkable journey from tribal ceremonies in Liberia and the pyramids in Egypt, to the gravity-defying architecture of modern China. Drawing on her experience as a global explorer, Stark unveils a crucial, hidden key to understanding the universe: Shape itself. 
The Telling Image is a stunning synthesis of civilization&;s changing mindsets, a brilliantly original perspective urging you to re-envision history not as a story of kings and wars but through the lens of shape. In this sweeping tour through time, Stark takes us from migratory humans, who imitated a web in round-thatched huts and stone circles, to the urban ladder of pyramids and skyscrapers, organized by hierarchy and measurements, to today&;s world of interconnected networks. 

?In The Telling Image Stark reveals how buildings, behaviors, and beliefs reflect humans&; search for pattern and meaning. We can read the past and glimpse the future by watching when shapes shift. Stark&;s beautifully illustrated book asks  of all its readers: See what you think.
