In this text, the film Faces Places by the filmmaker Agnès Varda and the graphic artist JR (2017) is analyzed, taking into account his condition as a performative documentary and following some theoretical-methodological guidelines that visual studies as a field and as a method offer. This analysis allows us to reflect on the emotional and reflexive functions of images, whether photographic, cinematographic, large format, analog or digital. As well as its aesthetic and socio-political impact following the contributions of Bill Nichols, Nicholas Mirzoeff and Gille Deleuze. The analysis is divided into four types of images that help to understand how the film works narratively and aesthetically, a documentary that is also made up of photographic installations and their replicas on the internet, these are: installation images, introspection images, absence images and images reproduction, a taxonomy under construction that can serve as a basis for the study of other films of this nature.
