Résumé/Présentation "This is a contribution to the second issue of the Writing with Light Magazine that focuses on aerial photography and the captivating set of relations and concepts animated by the so-called ‘vertical gaze.’ By shifting to ‘the view from above’ when wrirting about Kinshasa, the capital of the DRCongo, this contribution tries to open up a space—materially and figuratively—to think more about the limits and politics of verticality and the associated ways in which perspectives and relations can be assembled and reassembled through the still image."
