How many people have seen the same (one) image ?
How suggestive is an image that can go around the world in a few seconds and has been broadcast by every press organ?
One striking example is the enormous cover of 9/11 around the world .It is not overdone to say that everyone has seen at least one image related to that event, that a collective imagination has been created ,giving thousands of people the same landmarks and memories .This gives us a glimpse of the power of the media and of the unconscious import of the image our eyes absorb.
