German term or phrase: durchleuchten
Context:
"Seit einiger Zeit findet Markowitsch seine fotografischen Bilder nicht draussen in der Welt, sondern in der Ablage, im Archiv von gefundenen und **durchleuchteten** Buchseiten. Aus formatierten Wissensbeständen, in diesem Fall aus der berühmten Publikation "Tristes Tropiques" des Ethnologen Claude Levi-Strauss über das Leben der Caduveo und Mundeÿ Indianer im Mato Grasso, formuliert er einen kritischen Blick zum Phänomen der konstruierten Fremde.

Explanation:
Markowitsch seemed to have 'transilluminated' pages so that the images on the front and back of the page blended.

In his works, Remy Markowitsch has transilluminated photographs found in books and, through superposition, generated new ones.

agree Ford Prefect: with transilluminated - "illuminated" is too ambiguous
