Pieter Hugo, Tem Vleski, Cape Town, 45 x 45", 2003.
"Pieter Hugo (South Africa) enables social outcasts the opportunity to have a public image. His photographs are from a large project documenting albinism, a condition that might be understood as antagonistic to normal visibility. "
This photograph interests me because when I lived in South Africa I often wondered what kind of impact albinism had on an individual. My interpretation of the image is that it communicates the way this little boy feels; as a statue, in the background which people can stare at.
I am interested in the way a photograph can evoke emotion or memory.
