IMAGES OF THE WORLD AND THE INSCRIPTION OF WAR

This "high-compression collage" by Harun Farocki delves into an unsettling incident in history. In 1944, U.S. planes flew over and photographed Auschwitz, but the pictures remained undiscovered until the 1970s. Using seemingly unrelated footage with historical film, Farocki delivers a disturbing look at World War II.
