Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the research programme Visual Trust. Reliability, Accountability and Forgery in Scientific, Religious and Social Images. The main objective of this programme is to explore how people from different countries and socio-cultural milieu interact with and through images in terms of trust and distrust, and how visual forgery and falsity is perceived and assessed. The research programme draws a comparison between religious images, social images and scientific images. It is based on several ethnographic investigations, to be conducted in Europe, Asia and America, both on-line and off-line. Its final goal is elaborate, through visual means, a general theory of (dis)trust in images in the contemporary world.
