ニューヨーク近代美術館のインスタグラム(themuseumofmodernart) - 2月10日 08時00分

#CarrieMaeWeems's "From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried," now on view at MoMA, addresses photography's complicity in the reinforcement of racist ideas.

For the installation, the artist rephotographed images from the time of the American Civil War through the period of the civil rights movement. She used a red filter to diminish the pictures' documentary authority and cropped each image to create a kind of telescopic view of the subject.

From daguerreotypes to documentary photographs, each picture is accompanied by text written by Weems, etched on a protective pane of glass. When the work is seen in its entirety, the short texts inscribed on the glass read like a bitter poem.

In celebration of the photographic installation, our latest Forum on Contemporary Photography gathered writers and scholars for a virtual tribute to the visionary artist. It's now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
