from an early stage, farocki placed confrontation at the centre of his approach, not the confrontation between a small, single body and the great movement of collective history, but between dominant representations and the critical analysis of images, in works such as industry and photography (1979), as you see (1982), an image (1983), images of the world and the inscription of war (1988), still life (1997), war at a distance (2003) and respite (2007). the war of images waged by farocki is part of the development of a crucial cinematographic form – the visual study. this organizes a frontal encounter, a face-to-face between an image already made and a figurative project devoted to observing it; in other words, a study of an image using the means of the image itself.
