'Violent Images' examines how pictures both represent and enact violence in an age overwhelmed by visual media. From AI mimicking war photography in Gaza to Abu Ghraib snapshots turned into global memes, from expanding automated surveillance to persistent sexist advertising, visual violence shapes how we see and interpret the world. It may appear directly in an image or emerge through the technologies and systems that produce and circulate it. The book asks: What makes an image violent? Who decides this, and in what context? How do platforms and production tools influence the relationship between imagery and harm? And how do artists expose, challenge, or subvert the violent potential of visual culture? Bringing together artists and scholars, Violent Images investigates the politics of visual harm and its power to provoke and transform. Building on Giulia Cordin and Eva Leitolf’s Landscape with(out) Locus, it argues for a more critical, engaged understanding of images in a time of global conflict.
