Bogen beskriver i en række intense analyser forbindelsen mellem ydre og indre billeder: altså mellem de moderne mediers billedverden og drømmens og erindringens indre billeder. I fokus for undersøgelsen er desuden kønnet, altså hvordan billeder viser, omformer eller skjuler kønnet, 'det andet', som begæres og betragtes og fortrænges.

Det er en bog om at blive bevidst om det, vi ser - f. eks. i medierne. Men det er også en bog om at forstå de billeder, der opsøger os indefra (i drømme og erindring) - og en bog, der skærper blikket for samspillet mellem de ydre og de indre billeder, og hvorfor vi søger mod de første og opsøges af de sidste.

An English translation of one of the main chapters in the book will come. Here is an English translation of the abstract: The book describes in a series of intense analyzes the link between external and internal images; thus between the modern media imagery and internal images of dreams and memories. The focus of the study is also gender, i.e. how the pictures show converter or conceal the sex, 'the other', which is requested and considered and displaced. It is a book of becoming conscious of what we see - for example in the media. However, it is also a book about understanding the images that seek us from within (in dreams and memories) - and a book that sharpens sight of the interaction between external and internal images, and why we are looking at the first and is visited by the last.
