Look Again

Makayla Zhong

Look Again is a podcast about how we are trained to see, and what that training hides. Each episode begins with an original work, visual or written, and uses it to explore how attention shapes meaning across bodies, environments, and images. The series traces how visibility is structured, what becomes familiar, and what is pushed out of view. It draws on feminist and critical theory, and quietly side-eyes everything you thought was normal.

    Kendall, Ken Doll: The Absent Referent

    In this episode, I look at Kendall, Ken Doll, an original work that begins with a fish and ends somewhere else. Starting from this work, the episode follows how attention moves: what is noticed first, what feels familiar, and what quietly fades into the background. It considers how bodies become images, how images become templates, and why some forms are easier to recognize than others. It is less about what the work is than about why it is seen in the way it is.
