The Quick and the Dead by Mike Hoolbloom

The Quick and the Dead by Stephen Andrews 1.5 minutes silent 2004
Against the white blank of too much light, having seen too much, and gone too far, the artist rescues a vision of immolation, standing at the brink of terror, and renders it beautiful. Only someone who has gone through a war of his own, in his own body, could have nursed these pictures with this much tenderness, could have brought to these scenes of the Iraq war so much intimacy, and moved them through his hands slowly and carefully, so that out of this data, these digits, this noise from abroad, there might arrive at last an image.
