Didi-Huberman recalls in Arde la imagen ( 2012) the close relationship between image and imagining, highlighting the constructive character of images. Not only those referring to art, but also to science and other areas of life. Even realizing that they are a construction, sometimes close to pure fiction, we still need them to orient ourselves in the world.

Photographer Cristina de Middel, through her works in which the separation between reality and fiction is blurred, has also shown the need to reflect on them. To carry out this task, she generates visual stories from inconclusive historical facts that she constructs with large doses of imagination. Her photographs question not only the documentary nature of photographs, but also reality itself and contemporary credulity in the face of images.

Following in this wake, the Confluences: Image and Reality seminar wishes to provoke a reflection on what images are, how they are generated and how we interact with them through fiction, science or the everyday environment. To this end, it brings together Marta Frago, professor of Scriptwriting, Mikel Ariz, expert in the creation and analysis of bio-images, and Juan Luís Roquette, expert in creative processes.

Marta Frago

She is Professor of Fundamentals of Screenwriting and Film Adaptations in the Department of Culture and Audiovisual Communication at the University of Navarra. She has published numerous articles on literature and film and film adaptation of real events and people's lives.

She is the author of the book Leer, dialogar, escribir cine. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala y la adaptación cinematográfica (Eunsa, 2007) and has edited Personaje, acción e identidad en cine y literatura ( Ediciones Internacionales Universitarias, 2006).
