The Rwanda Project: The Eyes of Gutete Emerita
Alfredo Jaar
The installation is composed of a light table, magnifiers, 100,000 piled slides reproducing a photo of Gutete Emerita, a 30 years old member of the Tutsi minority in Rwanda whose family was killed with machetes in front of her very eyes (during the Ntamara Church massacre in 1994), and an illuminated wall text featuring the narration. "I remember her eyes. The eyes of Gutete Emerita." —Alfredo Jaar
