Inside, Wolfgang Tillmans speaks with Diane Smyth ahead of his Pompidou show, reflecting on image-making and the dissemination of knowledge.

Thaddé Comar interrogates surveillance and the modern war of images.

The issue also features Hélène Amouzou’s powerful self-portraits, a look at The Face exhibition, and a compelling deep-dive into Polish and Hungarian photography.

On the reverse: European Kinship—a 50-page special supplement offering an Eastern European perspective on image, identity, and shared histories.
