My research is aimed to describe representation of collective body, violence and suffering in several photo series of political meetings in the summer of 2019 in Moscow. As a result of this, several large theoretical frameworks arise: the (collective) body, performativity, violence and its representation. I will try to trace the deployment of representation of embodiment: I want to describe the cross-cutting motives of all the photo-series associated with different corporeality languages. I would analyse media political campaign behind these images. It is important to distil not only the visual images themselves, but also to understand who produced, reproduced and read them. My purpose is to analyse amateur and professional photographs (a corps of several representative cases) of meeting on 27th of July.
