N° 27 — February–March 2015

Diptyk #27

Facing the Image

Is figurative representation truly forbidden in Islam? Does the West tolerate all images? In Diptyk #27, historians, philosophers, and writers confront “the image” to examine its power. This February–March 2015 issue also explores the concept of time in the work of Najia Mehadji and Nabil Ayouch’s transition from film to photography. It features Mehdy Mariouch’s first series on the forgotten workers of the Jerada mine, as well as a portfolio by Kamel Khélif.
