X-rays – Seeing the Invisible: Art, Evidence and War Crimes was a workshop about uses of X-rays in the (re)construction of evidence.

X-rays technology and images as forensic evidence have played an important role during the international forensic investigations in Latin America (mid-1980s) and ex-Yugoslavia (1990s) in determining the causes of death, injury and in exhumations and recovery of mass graves as a proof of war crimes and genocide. The workshop X-rays – Seeing the Invisible critically tackled questions related to the visuality, objectivity, representation, and interpretation of X-rays images as evidence of international crimes on the one hand and on the other hand as X-rays images in the visual arts.

Jana Lozanoska (MK) teaches human rights and international law. Her research interests are at the intersection of human rights, international criminal law, visuality, and technology. She is working on research related to X-rays as evidence in front of the International Criminal Court by examining their nature as court evidence on the one hand and as evidence in art-exhibitions on the other hand.
