Image transformations

The book "Transformations of the Image" by the writer Atheer Al-Sadah discusses, through it, the importance of the image on our lived reality from all its aspects, social and political, so is the image really an abbreviation of the complexities of life, and an abbreviation of its contradictions? And is there in the photographic image what helps to play with it, in it, and on it? And is it true that it is the most means to pass political agendas and political programs to the audience? And to pass cultural programs as well? And how many photographic images do we need to pass political ideas to the audience? And does that depend on the images or on the culture of the audience? Or on both? And is the image a vehicle of lying? To where do stereotypes of the image reach?
