Firstly, it really resonates with me on a broader plane of circulation of war images on social media because lately I've been thinking a lot about the ethics of this (for clear reasons).

I mean different in comparison to earlier ways in which the lens was dominating documentary discourse (in art, activism, performance etc.)
