This essay explores the relation between the visible and the readable in the work of Mario Levrero. Starting with Wittgenstein’s reflection on “seeing” as well as recent developments in image theory and visual culture studies, my reading focuses on the bizarre combinations generated by the relation image/word in Levrero’s texts and particularly on the various forms of (inter)semiotic estrangement produced by its “scenes of writing”.
