Synopsis

The political strategy of manipulating photographs or paintings by removing certain elements or persons has been employed repeatedly throughout history by those in positions of power in order to adjust the historical narrative as it suited them and their idea of the “one truth”. Drawing on the same photograph from 1985, this film precisely examines this ability of photographic images to (de)construct a visual canon and therefore affect memory. The work poses the question: what kind of information can a picture reveal about the past, and what (or who) does it conceal?
