Violence

Perhaps I am interested in images of violence because I fear them. Is it dying that I fear, or is it not dying that scares me? .the potential of death. By recording and rerecording the images of the potentiality of death - the symbols of dying - do I confront or embrace my fear? Do I fear the symbol more than the thing? The wreckage of the bombed car is like an effigy; actually, more like the body itself. It symbolizes the destruction of the human body - it is a symbol for the potential destuction of the human body. The car is a weapon of war against an unsuspecting and civilian population. It's wreckage becomes a monument to their demise and remains as a reflection of their destroyed forms.
