| A Book of Images/A Picture Book When leafing from one picture to another, one will first notice the different spaces depicted, spaces that seem only to reflect the families’ normal, daily life. But one soon starts to see more sharply and one learns to read into the details, to notice the differences, and one will draw one’s own conclusions. The individual details combine in one’s mind to form a picture of a person whose absence is documented through the presence of the things in the photo. The sameness of the series, one page after another throughout an entire book, hints at the dimensions of the disaster. The book becomes a snap-shot of these families’ lives on this catastrophic day. The language of the bookis the language of people who have experienced a massive loss. This book is a transmitter of experiences shared with others. It becomes a memorial, an intimate, personal memorial in which one can immerse oneself in the privacy of one’s own four walls. |
