The Death in their Eyes

What Perpetrator Images Perpetrate

Beschreibung

Perpetrator images - those that embody the point of view of the perpetrators or their accomplices during acts of violence - from Abu Ghraib, the Auschwitz Album, and of illegal prisoners captured during the fiercest dictatorships, are analyzed under a new methodology in The Death in their Eyes to account not only for the visible aspect of the image but to see what is concealed behind or beyond the frame limits.
