The product of a collaboration between French philosopher Jacques Derrida and Belgian photographer MarieFranoise Plissart, Right of Inspectionis a visually alluring and engaging tour de force. Beginning with Plissart's hundredpage photonovel, both the images and Derrida's text meditate on a variety of issues including gender, photographic genre, spectrality, and the interpretive act of seeing. Having seen Plissart's haunting blackandwhite imagery, Derrida himself confesses that one cannot resist the compulsion to 'make up stories.' Recalling his recent preoccupation with ghosts, Derrida spectrally engages two of the most influential visual arts theorists Walter Benjamin and Roland Barthes. Within the framework of Plissart's project, Derrida engages a discussion of the relation of the photographic image to memory, authenticity, and reality. Responding to the impression of Plissart's world of artifice, reversibility, and seduction, Derrida's text illuminates what is at stake in 'the right to look.'
