Giants in the Medieval City
By Assaf Pinkus
With participation of Noeit Williger Aviam, Orly Amit and Michal Ozeri
 
This book explores the role and function of the vision and the experience of the  gigantic. Executed “out of scale” and communicating ideas about excess, giants were experienced as physically and ethically abject and, at the same time, as magnificent, apotropaic, and redemptive; as such they came to embody the very notion of the medieval sublime.
