Steve Ceraso on Robin Whenary: Blinded
19 November 2009
Vulnerability, confusion, and perception - in "Blinded" Whenary explores these very human conditions, in a poignant, and voyeuristic way. The scene is clearly a "clip" of a much larger event, the unfortunate repercussions evident in a body laying on the ground on the side of a country road. What isnt evident is just as intriguing as what is clearly evident. Although evidence of physical harm is indicated in the victims struggle to reach for the eyeglasses, recollection of memory is yet another way in which the victim has been harmed.
As a viewer I feel that I am up close watching this event as it occurs, trying to make sense of what has happened. I feel as though I am watching, but not making an effort to help the victim in this unfortunate situation.
