Una serie del fotografo
Jean-Christian Bourcart, muy muy buena, con un mensaje fuerte y rotundo y ademas esteticamente muy hermoso. Boucart proyecta sobre casas, camiones, basureros o simbolos calramente gringos... imagenes de irakies mutilados. Aqui les dejo en sus palabras la cosa explicada (conoci este trabajo por
trabuko)
I projected photographs of mutilated and dead Iraqis on American houses, supermarkets, churches, and parking lots.
I was thinking of this new generation of kids who will be traumatized for life by growing up during wartime. It was a desperate gesture: my personal protest for the lack of interest for the non-american victims.
I found the images on the web. Some American soldiers post their own pictures on a website. They would show a cut leg with the caption: “where's da rest of my shit?” Or a blown up head with the caption: “need a hair cut” .
I could not help thinking of those images as some kind of restless ghosts that endlessly wander in the intermediate level of the web. I took care of them like a embalmer would; downloading, revamping, printing, rephotographiing, then projecting them as if I was looking for a place where they would rest in peace and at the same time haunt those who pretend not to know what was going on.
