"Unknown"-1998
Permanent collection of Moderna Musset, Stockholm.
Photos on projection foil fed with a single battery - limited source of energy
For the second time in my life I found myself in front of such an image; the first time when I was ten, then at 33 years old; both of them incidental;
Past and present images and emotions, which I can hardly define, assault my mind:
- the places where those children were abandoned;
- the position they were in;
- the bags and the rags they were wrapped up in and carried;
- the nails;
- their physical development;
- the fact that I was in from of a human being;
- the physical and psychical feelings the woman had while having an abortion;
- the guilt that we might carry because of our attitude and our mentality;
- I didn't know what to do; bury it?
- 'Shall I call anybody?' I didn't want to repeat the mistake I made when I was 10 and I called the "Militia"
- the next day, the baby was gone; he had been probably eaten by dogs;
- the nerve I had to take a picture;
