Guy Debord (1931–1994) was a French philosopher, filmmaker, and political theorist, a central figure of the Situationist International. His most influential work is The Society of the Spectacle (La société du spectacle, 1967), an essay that criticizes the transformation of social relations into representations mediated by images, where authentic life is replaced by its representation. In 1988, he published Comments on the Society of the Spectacle, delving deeper into his earlier ideas and analyzing the evolution of the spectacle in contemporary society.

Debord also ventured into cinema, adapting his main work into a homonymous film in 1973. His thought has influenced various disciplines, from critical theory to contemporary art.
