The ubiquity of images and visual information that marks our contemporary experience is hardly a revelation. With little more than an errant search engine entry or a the scroll of a smartphone screen, we can unearth a glut of photographs, animated gifs or video content that would have proved impossible to access only a decade or so ago. But amidst the morass of images that drown the digital present – not to mention the cloud of desensitisation that rises in its wake – some photographs still hold the acute charge and resonance they always did. These images, no matter the context and specificities of their history, their making, their presentation and their dissemination, continue to conjure fear, offence, antipathy and otherwise.
