33 years after the end of World War II, two CIA analysts rediscovered US Air Force aerial photographs taken over the Nazi death camps during the war: how did they only identify the factories surrounding the extermination camp, and not the camp itself? Harun Farocki's early essay film departs from the CIA analyst's rediscovery to examine the dual function of image-making: documentation, on one hand, and illusion or obfuscation on the other. Interwoven are French military ID photos of Algerian women, German police photos of wanted subjects, a wave laboratory in Hanover, Germany, a life drawing class, a Lufthansa flight simulator, and a makeup session for a Dior model.

Farocki's film addresses image-making and witnessing during times of war in a radically different context from today, during which we are witnessing live-streamed massacres of a captive population in the Gaza Strip, given unprecedented 'access' to the struggles of those under siege, but never in their entirety. While the first-person accounts of Palestinians in Gaza stand like giants against the flimsy diagrams, aerial photographs and crass theatre of the IDF, Farocki's film reevaluates the condition of being a passive accomplice and acts as a window for thinking about how a fight for collective freedom could be otherwise.
