Visual writing
|
|
The term visual writing is best explained as writing that uses visual components as an integral part of the writing itself. Visual tools, devices and mechanisms work in the same way that literary devices work, the only difference being that they happen to be visual. These tools are not decorative or extraneous but are key to the writing itself, challenging the traditional limitations of a book to create a more immersive work by adding visual dimensions to the narrative in a multimedia style. Some well known examples of visual writers are: Laurence Sterne, B.S. Johnson, Kurt Vonnegut, Steve Tomasula, Mark Z. Danielewski, Georges Perec, Donald Barthelme, Dave Eggers, Marcel Möring and Jonathan Safran Foer. Visual Editions, an independent book publisher based in London, founded by Anna Gerber with friend Britt Iversen, publishes literary fiction and non-fiction characterised by its use of visual writing. |
