Not really, but what made an impression on me was doing some research in the National Archive reading some military record group documents stamped Top Secret were declassified on my reading. Some of these documents dated 1944 were heavily redacted "in the interest of national security." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a sign over the register that went something like this: "Have complaints? Here's the number to file with the New York City Consumer Affairs." 47th Street could care less about service, but I shopped there anyway!

As I’ve heard it said, some might disagree with them, but I have my beliefs and convictions. Not, mind you, so firmly that I might die for them. After all, I could be wrong. Then again, so could they. What a brilliant shadow of censorship, the very architecture of redaction! It is a poetic manifesto for the terror of censorship's Theatre of the Absurd. Anathema to the artist, as you allow. It is an ongoing play with actors speaking with silence. Beckett's endlessness, finality without end. The terrifying landscape of redaction, "thick black lines," orchestrated with a voice of silence. Yes, the presence of absence or even the absence of presence, the metronome of miasma. The backlog: I started to consider the censorship of language and, for us, images, what we find arresting, and I determined that censorship and redaction, though not entirely the same, are both a measure of assault and ultimately oppression. A redaction renders privileged language or images mute. Much of my preoccupation is centered on photography as the object itself, so I was challenged with expressing the concept of censorship. Nothing new, perhaps, but I eliminated the specificity of identifiable images of things, places, and language, representing their life hidden under blocks of redacting black (or near black). I used disused color fields of yellow that intimated a sense of history, worn and scarred. I decided on a triptych format to give the sense of a fold-out in a book or magazine. When laying this out, I discovered the fold-out seemed to animate itself in my mind, implying a kind of "turning the pages." Silly, perhaps, but I couldn't prevent myself from mentally animating the turning of the pages. The actual color field is steel, which I thought was humorous, too. That redacted large black block occupying the fold-out represents a photograph image. Why is this image so political that it must be censored? Why is there such repetition in the folding and unfolding, without end? Your final thoughts express the essence of endlessness . . . "After all, I could be wrong. Then again, so could they." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
