| Summary: | This article addresses the debate surrounding the catalog of the exhibition entitled Iconoclash: Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion, and Art, held at the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM) in 2002, curated by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel. Through the concept of iconoclash, Latour suspends and problematizes the immediately deleterious effect of the iconoclastic gesture, historically present in art, religion, politics, and science. Focusing on the discussion surrounding the crisis of representation in modern and contemporary art, the article revisits arguments presented by the authors throughout the catalog and introduces Latour's classifications to explore the ambiguity of the iconoclastic gesture, aiming to elucidate its potential as a critical reading key. |
