What if instead of the spectacle of black suffering, the exposition of the body of the victim tortured, mutilated, killed in popular lynchings, we paid attention to the aggressors and the spectators, voyeurs or witnesses of the brutality? By exhuming the black bodies in the image, do I preclude the viewer's precarious empathy with the victims? By removing them, I seek to reveal fragments of the texts (discursive system) that subscribe them within an ethics in which both their violent death and the economic circuit surrounding the image of their bodies are naturalized.
