Synopsis:

Images of the World and the Inscription of War: Documentary examines the 'blind spot' of the evaluators of aerial footage of the IG Farben industrial plant taken by the Americans in 1944. Respite: Moving images from Westerbork, a Dutch transit camp during WWII (starting 1942) are first shown accompanied by intertitles giving them one possible interpretation, then reprised, with Farocki issuing different hypothesis regarding their meaning and intention. With Aufschub, Farocki reminds the viewers that they should pay the utmost attention to the way in which images (of WWII camps and not only) are handled, manipulated, contextualized.
