surveillance, control, image, archive, Harun FarockiAbstract
This study aims to show how the images used by Harun Farocki in the films Prison Images and Images of the World and the Inscription of War assume an operational function, a role that distances them from a figurative dimension, producing associations not perceptible until then, which reveal the aspects of surveillance and control to which the world of production and consumption is directly linked. Based on the reflections of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, it is possible to show the normative character of surveillance and its reconfigurations from the technological advance to a system of social control that works in an open and expanded way and has the image as the center of its mechanism.
