Les images à l’épreuve du regard : distance, mémoire, responsabilité (Images tested by the gaze: distance, memory, responsibility) will explore our relationship with images of war, violence, and catastrophe in a world of post-truth and visual overabundance. How can we maintain the right distance between empathy and critical reflection? By bringing together all kinds of images — technical, journalistic, amateur, and artistic — guests from diverse backgrounds will examine the responsibility of our gaze in the face of the ceaseless flow of images. Co-organized by Lët’z Arles, the University of Luxembourg, and the Institut français, this round-table will question the forms of storytelling capable of conveying without betraying — between the vertigo of seeing and the risk of denial.

Access to the talk is reserved for visitors with an entry fair ticket.
