Family duty, for instance, is refracted through generations of difficult history and complicated identity: Stories about Japanese Americans tackle Pearl Harbor, the atomic legacy of World War II, and the internment of Americans of Japanese descent (which is, sigh, of continuing relevance).

This exhibit became refracted through the access point of 1986: Timely political issues placed in a contemporary context take on different resonances today, and artists' materials aren't driven by economic constraints as much as they bring to life the politics they assert.

If you liked The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, you'll be fascinated by this history of brain surgery, which is refracted through the case of a man known only as H.M., an epileptic turned into an amnesiac by a disastrous lobotomy in 1953.

The rainbow, that multicolored spectrum of white light's refracted parts, has become a symbol for gay pride, Skittles, luck, and justice in the form of the rainbow coalitions that surfaced in the United States and South Africa after each country's civil rights movements.

The effect of the moon glowing bloody red with Earth&aposs refracted twilight is beautiful, but the effect doesn&apost fully convey the scale of the astronomical phenomenon at work in the same in-your-face way as happens during a solar eclipse.

Spokane or London cannot simply be viewed on their own terms—the savage majesty of the Petroleum Age can only be fully understood refracted through its most grandiose expression, the palaces and processional roads of Las Vegas, The Valley of the Kings.

Using effects like tinting, negative printing, matting and, most strikingly, superimpositions — mesmerizingly, the different layers often move in opposite directions — Mr. Baillie creates a film that represents less the world as it seems to exist than one that's been refracted through his being.

While Ryan Murphy's scripted drama served as a sort of pinhole camera, capturing so much about our society through just depicting one case, "Made in America" is more like a prism, with dozens of ideas refracted through the case and dispersing outward.

Despite being in many ways an unlikely candidate, Tarkon is a person whose life experience, refracted by soccer, had perhaps inevitably put him on the cultural collision course that now found him shaking with adrenaline in the front room of his house.

The world doesn't come to him through a haze of the subjective; it comes refracted by stupidity and greed, bent as through glass or water, but etched on a screen before the inner eye, a lie as sharp and bright as truth.
|
|
Elsewhere there are soft-rock ballads and R&B songs, none of them subject to anything like the skepticism that has greeted Lil Nas X, whose reference points might in fact be more classically country (even if refracted through a kitsch lens).
|

The retrospective mirrors his critical writing: it's deeply personal resonances refracted by his keen analytical attention so that intimate friends, historical moments, and his own self and experiences are progressively unpacked until the reader sees how they intersect and inform each other.

Whatever happened on Sunday in Lambeau Field was going to be refracted through the the fact that Odell Beckham and the rest of the Giants receiving corps spent a day in Miami on a yacht with celebrities nearly a week before a playoff game.
|

It swells the space with sound like water, clear and luminous, through which all the church's visual glories are refracted, and which gestures beyond the seen and felt toward the far reaches of the senses, where suspecting a thing is as good as knowing it.
|
|
Maybe it's a relic from their old parties, or a symbol of something else entirely, but as the DJs heads brushed up against its dangling fringes in the booth in the Good Room on Saturday, it reflected and refracted the lights to a magical effect.
|

Quoting from original letters and other documents, it shimmers with the refracted light of another age; the account of a modern-day love triangle between three Eliot experts, which Ms O'Shaughnessy intercuts with chapters on the novelist and her circle, enhances the main picture.
|

The NFL's contempt for anything but the most basic and boring expressions of power—the quest for more of everything forever, and the showing of it—is the refracted and performed contempt of these men for everyone and everything that has less than them.
|
|
After her death, she was refracted through the interests of her admirers, or, too often, of her antagonists' antagonists: widespread hatred of Hughes, which crested in the seventies, sometimes eclipsed an appreciation of her work, in all its furious wit, abrupt tenderness, and transgressive force.
|
|
In writing from parts of the world that are all too often refracted in what Sleigh calls "crisis chatter" or "disaster porn," he wants to investigate what it means to be present among others who are more often than not perched on some precarious verge.

Echoing its refracted did she/or didn't she trailers, Amanda Knox allows its subjects to remake their claims about what really must have happened the night of Kercher's death, who was later found sexually assaulted and fatally stabbed inside the Perugia apartment she shared with Knox.

I could have done without many of the metaphors for the Schrödinger girls — "each in her own perfect, iridescent-transparent bubble," each "a refracted ray of light," each one of "the many phases of the moon" — their differences gratuitously reiterated when I already knew them well.
|
|
Instead, I get the feeling that we're sleepwalking through the effects of old habits and norms – women navigating an industry that's still shaking off its sexist roots – and how those norms are refracted through the supposedly objective algorithms that guide your listening on streaming services like Spotify.

The new rendition of the piece—which arrives today, as part of a Blu-Ray release of a series of shows he played earlier this year called reFracted: Live at the Barbican—builds for more than four minutes before the arcing melody that fans know and love finally appears.
|
|
Because the show's more radical elements were refracted through — and secreted within — an upbeat, candy-colored atmosphere, ''Playhouse'' could be consumed and adored not only by those who ''got it'' but also by ''squares'' (not to mention their children, whom Pee-wee indoctrinated into a cult of extreme acceptance).

At that point the Wellington, New Zealand-born singer was living in Shoreditch and riding the wave of her eponymous first album that came bearing songs which sparkle with nostalgia, and synths that stoke your desire to see the world refracted through the shards of a dozen disco balls.
|
|
Radical both in form and content, "Daughters" is an elliptical meditation on black memory, identity, migration and bodies as refracted through a story about Gullah women — residents of the Sea Islands off the South Carolina coast — who in the early 1900s are preparing to leave for the mainland.

In a photograph, the time during which the light is refracted by the lens, enters the aperture and is allowed to rest on the photosensitive surface could be 1/125th of a second, one-eighth of a second, half a second, a whole minute, much more or much less.

" With "Inland," Obreht makes a renewed case for the sustained, international appeal of the American West, based on a set of myths that have been continually shaped and refracted through outside lenses—from Karl May's adventure novels to Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns or, more recently, Chloé Zhao's film "The Rider.
|

Having refracted the Hellenic take on the nature of humanity and mortality, on war and its aftermath, in contemporary adaptations of works by Sophocles ("Oedipus") and Aeschylus ("The Persians"), Ms. McLaughlin revisits the battle-ravaged plains and psyches of Euripides' all too timely "The Trojan Women," at the Flea Theater.

As Cousins goes through it, he looks at Welles's life and career, refracted through his art—dozens of charcoal drawings, portraits he drew feverishly on an ocean liner to Ireland as a teenager ("Looking at Irish people was training you to look, to draw"), abstract sketches from a subsequent trip to Morocco.
|
|
Refracted through the childlike perspective of its alternately sweet and appalling 10-year-old protagonist, the horrors of Germany under Hitler's Reich aren't defanged as much as defenestrated: They go flying out the windows of Waititi's dollhouse world as quickly and decisively as the film's copious sight gags, punchlines and Mel Brooksian "Heil, Hitler" bits.

The curator, Charlene Lau, mentioned that she is "not Asian-American" and "grew up in Toronto, Canada," as if border identity and geographic distance justified a lack of proximity to the lived reality refracted in the exhibition (RCS founder KZ informed them that Butterfly, an Asian migrant sex worker's project, is based in Toronto).
|
|
The outpouring of love, support and concern that greeted the news of the congressman's medical diagnosis should be refracted though the lens of our own tumultuous time: an era marked by racial divisions, a democracy in peril and the alarming frequency of violence such as mass shootings and police killings of unarmed black people.
|
|
But some of my favorite moments from these books — the birth scene in Anna Karenina, the evocations of American life and landscape in Lolita, the descriptions of cooking spaghetti in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle — are transcendent because I can recognize my world in them, but my world refracted so as to be beautiful and powerful and mysterious.

I also deeply appreciate the range of artists: from Elaine Reichek, who in 1972 began doing sewing work that refracted the formalist concerns of the aesthetic associated with color-field artists through a feminist spying glass, to Sanford Biggers, who was born only two years before Reichek started making art and is now an assistant professor at Columbia.

Re:frame, described by Rankin as "an experimental programming format engineered by CAPE that brings together combinations of art, music, and a diversity of voices to facilitate public dialogue," looks quite similar to programs being adopted nationwide by museums that want to cultivate deeper relationships with their visitors, but here, again, that ambition is refracted through the state's history.

Kicking off with footage of a whale shark, the largest fish in the sea, the relaxation-fest stitches together calming clips of stingrays dappled with refracted sunbeams, dolphin pods breaching over whitecaps, sailfish corralling cyclonic schools of fish, blooms of jellyfish drifting with the current, and a lone tortoise making its way across the pelagic expanse.

An appropriationist before there was a critical term for it, she not only ceased to use oil paint and canvas; she also refused to invent images of her own, declining the role of world-creator while embracing a teeming realm of otherness: the totality of iconic meaning across the breadth of human culture, refracted through a feminist prism.

The other half of the diptych was intended to capture a curious existential quality of Assange's confinement: on the one hand, he was estranged from the hundred and ninety-seven million square miles of the planet outside the Embassy; on the other, his likeness and his words were continuously circling the globe in digital form, refracted through the biases of supporters and detractors.

The siren call of the pool runs deep: Impossibly blue from the sky's refracted light, it is a watery cinematic paradise in which Hollywood stars communed with marble beauties — shapely nymphs, mermaids with pageboy hairdos and Venus rising voluptuously from a conch shell held by musclebound mermen — the statues positioned just so, so the water laps at their perfect Carrara derrières.
|
|
While their snippets of graffiti, historical iconography, portraits, text, and pattern have all the busy visual intrigue of a Victorian ceremonial porcelain vase, Lugo uses this visual onslaught to reflect our national heritage back to us, refracted with 21st century progressive values, and all the pride, shame, hope, and complexity that comes with the territory of being a US citizen today.
|

And while most of the show's riffs on TGIF sitcoms (that they all concealed dark cores; that horrible things could happen to laughter; etc.) have been done many, many times before, I thought the reveal that Mr. Robot had brought Elliot to this "world" to protect him was an affecting one, to say nothing of the way the scene was reflected and refracted in the final flashback to a young Elliot naming his father's store.
|
|
Partly that comes down to every poet's desire to be heard as a unique voice, so Lima would probably squirm to hear me say that — after his earliest work in which the harsh experience of the street is refracted through something like the "cubist" technique of Reverdy — he became probably the most thoroughgoing American Surrealist since Philip Lamantia, though rarely without a bit of Reverdyesque heart in some pocket or other as well.
|

And despite the many criticisms that have been leveled at it in the years since it debuted in 1996 — that its mores are outdated, that its "villain" isn't so villainous, that it's a gay story appropriated and refracted through a straight lens — the show's power as a defining cultural narrative meant that in the middle of all the chaos surrounding Fox's "live" production, tributes to the undeniable impact the show has had on American culture, and countless hearts, were frequent.

The political role, and the social duty, of the artist; the attempt to unite the aesthetic with the political, and her understanding that the aesthetic was political; the link between mind and body; the experience of power and powerlessness; the ways pain is inflicted, regarded, and represented; the ways images, language, and metaphor create—and distort—whatever people call reality: these questions were refracted, and then literally dramatized, during the nearly three years she spent coming and going from the worst place in the world.

The doctor's gown even greener than before they swarm the buxom Equatorial one— head bent, body curled— a creaturely sound from the vast, void-like and watery opening out, the throat a conduit for this otherworldly force like a glacier calving inside the more obsolete sound of a trireme that'll always be circumnavigating that glacier, gloved hands holding my own heels high for the pelvissing plosive head, shoulders, hip, knees feet and cord that voice never not in my ear and soon another, voices so large in their beautiful Latin, how could they accept being refracted so small in another grammar?

The memorable ones for me include a boy seemingly asleep on the surf, his face dusted in sand as if the sandman had struck while no one was looking; a group of high-stepping Black girls in white and purple band uniforms; the shot of an old fashioned phone booth with its wings of green glass through which a view of the city is refracted as if plunged undersea; a bevy of yellow cabs coming together at intersecting angles; a variation of Winogrand's infamous shot of a racially mixed couple each carrying a small chimpanzee; and a shot of the photographer himself smiling with his whole being.

Orb of amber hisses And steaming, over and over …crashes extravagantly into itself now, glass of Tauba Auerbach's double-helix shattered after A man (not-)got in the end knocks it off the gallery flat with a careless swing of his hand when he goes to hug an old friend of his X partner whose blonde hair shines in contrast to HER BLACK CAP, now refracted in fine threads of sculpture strewn across the cement floor AS BLUE LIGHT and when she turns another way, to introduce her boyfriend (all of whom tower over you), carcerant blue light cast at a certain plant, moves into a verb.
