We do eth­i­cal things with images. Images are not just rep­re­sen­ta­tions, but social agents which inter­vene in the world. Images weave the rela­tion­ships that we main­tain with oth­er peo­ple. Images may hurt, betray, or offend. Yet they can also be an offer­ing, a reward, a form of love, esteem, and care. In this talk, I will talk about vio­lence and care in images, not only focus­ing on how these eth­i­cal dis­po­si­tions have been depict­ed visu­al­ly, but rather on how they are nec­es­sar­i­ly involved in the process­es of image-mak­ing and image-cir­cu­la­tion. Most of the metaphors about the act of mak­ing images have been based on a mode of vio­lence and mis­trust. And if we changed this paradigm?
