The Civil Contract of Photography, Ariella Azoulay

“What is the part of photography in the construction of political space, a space which belongs to everyone ? What role does it play in the civic space of human gaze ? Ariella Azoulay explores in a transversal way the notion of "impaired citizenship" from subjects that transcend photography, and questions the consequences of representation by taking as a starting point two groups rendered invisible by their state of exception: Palestinians who are non-citizens of Israel and women in Western societies,” dixit Marta Gili.
