These materials were collected in black archival boxes that were stacked on top of each other to resemble three black towers. The clinical minimalist aesthetic of Jaar’s ’sculptures’ contrasts grossly with their highly charged ethical content. The complete “Real Pictures” project consists of 550 color photographs of genocidal horror, none of it accessible to the audience’s ambivalent gaze – a cynical commentary upon the relative torpor of the global mass media in responding to the world’s bloodiest conflict since the end of the Second World War.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn de reeks \u003ci\u003eReal Pictures\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;bracht Jaar allerlei fotografisch materiaal bijeen dat betrekking heeft op de Rwandese genocide uit 1994, waar Jaar zelf ook (min of meer rechtstreeks) getuige van was. Dit materiaal werd verzameld in drie verschillende sculpturale modules die elk uit een reeks zwarte archiefdozen bestaan. De klinische minimale esthetiek van Jaars installatie contrasteert scherp met de ‘ethiek’ van zijn inhoud: het volledige “Real Pictures” bestaat uit vijfhonderdvijftig kleurenfoto’s van de genocidale gruwel die het publiek nooit te zien krijgt – een cynische commentaar op de relatieve mediastilte die zo lang het bloedigste conflict sinds het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog omfloerste.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":749,"name":"Alfredo Jaar","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
