To Suffer

Summary/Abstract: Does to look mean to suffer? And do images cause suffering, can they be cruel? With the question posed by Judith Butler: “Does the photograph continue the event into the future?” as his point of departure the author ponders on images of the war taking place in Ukraine, their ability to mobilise but also to transfer violence and trauma, and to wound. The strange duration of a traumatic scene signifies a return to the same: the process of mourning thus remains not closed and constantly evades attempts at capturing suffering within frames.
