Milieu aesthetics departs from the mimetic relation between life and milieu and interrogates the heteronomous relations in which artistic production is entangled. Following Caillois’ insect studies, whose mimetic impulse he understands in a photographic register, the book looks at his ambivalent relationship with Benjamin and recasts aesthetics against the background of technical reproducibility.
