After Diboutades models critical moments in the history of Western image-making. This historical trajectory begins with the myth of the first drawing in which Diboutades traces the projected shadow of her departing lover. The trajectory continues with Albrecht Dürer's depiction of the "veil," a Renaissance-era perspectival drawing device, and Jeremy Bentham's plans for the "Panopticon," a cylindrical prison design. Conflated formally in After Diboutades, a "digital-born" sculpture, this three-part movement within the image regime documents the larger evolution of the society of sovereignty to the society of discipline to the society of control.
