The Aesthetics of Ethics is a research based project on social documentary photography. It reflects on the way social concern gets to be visually communicated and on what this particular protocol of representation might say about citizenship, ethics or political consciousness. The installation addresses the topic from a point of view of social inter-surveillance and attempts to unfold the documentary format as a map of human value.
