I must concur with Rene...

"What is the role of [these] images in a discussion like this?"

"Brother's photo, n.2, 2006 © Bracha L. Ettinger"  "Brother's photo,  
n.4, 2006 © Bracha L. Ettinger" etc.

are these proclamations of ownership the statement or is it the photo  
or both? Does this tag of ownership also denote responsibility?

OR, Is this simply the eye of a witness or an example of the colonial  
gaze? Where is Bracha's voice in this dialogue? Or, where is Bracha's  
brother? Who is Bracha's brother?

Perhaps Bracha can clarify her intentions here...

Among other things, what is absent here are the details of the event  
- of the place that marks the spot where this blindfolded and bound  
man was sitting? Where this fence is located?
