Dying In Full Detail examines how documentary technologies record death to explore the relationship between the digital and temporality. Malkowski traces ethical and cinematic debates surrounding the act of recording and witnessing death on screen. Documentary photographers and filmmakers have long sought to capture the elusive “moment of death,” yearning for something close to the cinematic model of on-screen death in which someone closes their eyes, becoming instantly limp and still. Yet, in reality, documenting death is complicated not only by physical circumstances but also by the limitations of imaging technologies. While digital technology has increased our sociopolitical understanding of death through the rhetorical power of documentary representation, filmmakers still struggle to represent the metaphysical process of dying. Malkowski addresses the philosophical and technological paradoxes that arise at the intersection of documentary and death
