»Monika Schwärzler [hat] aus dem divergenten Material eine analytisch stringente und zugleich gut lesbare Anleitung dafür geschaffen, wie man die einem ersten ›müden‹ Blick vertraut erscheinenden Bilder neu sehen kann: Media Literacy auf hohem Niveau.« Michael Freund, Fotogeschichte, 143 (2017) Besprochen in: EIKON, 96 (2016)
