Based on the essay by Susan Sontag by Ayla Pierrot Arendt | German by Reinhard Kaiser.

A man in a white shirt, his sleeves rolled up, a leather cartridge belt over them. He is about to fall over backwards; his knees at a 90-degree angle, his right arm outstretched, the rifle slipping from his grasp: "The Falling Soldier" by Robert Capa from 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, allegedly taken at the moment of death. In the beginning, photographs were "a reproduction of something real, as incontestable as no linguistic representation could ever be", wrote the American author Susan Sontag in her essay THE Suffering of Others (2003). The ideal of war photography is to show the "true face" of war and to bear witness: this is what happened, this is what happened! And today, when images produced by AI are almost indistinguishable from real photographs? International video artist and director Ayla Pierrot Arendt explores the manipulability of reality. Together with the ensemble, she tells of journeys through the crisis regions of our time, captured by war photographers, peace activists and influencers - in search of a very real reality. How do you find something like objectivity today when it is constantly under scrutiny between falsification and reality? Who makes and who looks at the images of suffering? What do they serve - and for whom?
