This paper uses the referent of the hallucination as a way to move with and then past the role of images in intervention. It is used for two purposes. First, it calls our attention to how often those advocating intervention refer not to images and what we can see (but disagree over), but rather to what is not seen. A second purpose is analytical. I engage research on hallucinations at the individual level, link this to research on interventions and provide three conceptual bridges relating to hallucinations in international relations – images and their visual political contestations, trauma and generational experiences. I also present three examples of hallucination common to International Relations studies – counter-factuals, simulations and scenarios. This paper thus deploys the concept of ‘hallucination’ to contextualize, recast and interrogate interventions
