Folio 010 Harun Farocki. Visión. Producc ión. Opresión Vision. Production. Oppression In Harun Farocki’s work, visuality supposes a question of a political sort: it interrogates the way in which the image and its means of production are used as methods of control. Likewise, it involves a definite reflection on the problem of representation in film and video. Vision. Production. Oppression is made up of some of the key works in his trajectory, in which Farocki addresses the different configurations between the image and the power in technology, war, and the factory. These explorations make apparent the way in which the naturalization of different forms of visual representation—such as film, painting and virtual technology— obscures central features of the realities they seek to represent, as well as the media themselves.
