The philosopher developed there ideas he had outlined in his book  The Supermarket of the Visible: Toward a General Economy of Images  (2017) about the intimate relationship between images and the economy. Basing his approach on Deleuze who was himself inspired by Marx, Szendy reminded us that "money is the flipside of all images".

It helps make sense of patient bodies, directs treatment, and enables researchers to focus their work through categorized body material.
