Who Speaks. Who is Silent.
Who speaks. - Who is silent.
Who aims the camera. - Who looks away.
Who records history. - Who is recorded.
Who are the perpetrators. - Who are the victims.
Who frames the photograph. - Who is framed.
Who controls. - Who pleads.
Who murders. - Who is killed.
Who denies. - Who remembers.
Who has the last word. - Who is frozen.
Whose photographs occupy the walls of our museums.
Imagine
|
the photographs
|
we will never see.
