This piece intervenes by developing an understanding of the nonhuman power of images. It does so by attending to a different style of thought for approaching images and imaging practices: that is, as something composed of and open to a much wider ecology of experience. Engaging with a recent geographical concern with the affective power of images, it argues for the need to affirm in imaging a specific intensive power to defamiliarise human-centred frames of thought used to think about the active powers of images.
