Hear me Roar

Buried

Eugenia Vargas-Pereira, Chilean, b. 1949. Untitled (from the series: “The Body Works” Various Performance Pieces). 1986-1987. Artstor, library.artstor.org/asset/30229034

This photo is anything but conventional. The axis of framing is off, it shows an almost lifeless body prepared for burial, and is headless. It works however due to the bright pale skin against the dark earth.
