In this lecture, D. N. Rodowick will survey Harun Farocki’s critical life in images by analysing work from three distinct periods of his career, including landmarks such as Inextinguishable Fire (1968), Images of the World and the Inscription of War (1988). and Serious Games I-IV (2010). Looking at this work in the context of Critical Theory, Rodowick argues that Farocki offers us a philsophy and ethics of the image.
Followed by a Q&A with Dr. Steven Eastwood (Queen Mary University, London).
