Abstract: Amid the continuing pandemic, depicting a post-pandemic world is a challenging task. There is no theory about time that can exactly predict the future. Almost thirty years ago, W.J.T. Mitchell, a theorist of media and literature, introduced Metapicture as pictures that are capable of picturing a concept, subject, movement, ideal, or event. Metapicture is a realm where pictures can reveal themselves and its surrounding. This research aims to provide the metapicture of the post-pandemic world. This study is interdisciplinary research that involves iconology, critical social theory, and philosophy. The author found two metapictures of the post-pandemic life, i.e, the emergence of new social crises and the establishment of new global solidarity.
