The journalistic images that appear in this video and suite have been significantly altered
by the artist to open an internal dialogue between seemingly disparate areas of
the contemporary world stage. The original photographs all share a common
icon: human defacement. Indigenous zapatistas wearing black ski-masks in
southern Mexico, women wearing blue burqas in Kabul or black abayas in Saudi
Arabia, Iraqi torture victims wearing green or black hoods at Abu Ghraib, Michael
Jackson wearing a mask in Russia, and black bloc members covering their face in
Seattle, are but a few examples of the refusal of the face which has become the
paradoxical icon of our generation.
