Zout.html Helen Zout began her photographic series on children with AIDS in 1989, at the request of the head of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Children's Hospital of the Universidad de La Plata. In many of the pictures, the faces of the children and their mothers are hidden by strange masks or objects blocking our view. In addition to concealing the subjects' identities, these obscuring devices refer to the fear of the unknown that these children might evoke in the uninfected populace. Her work has been included in group exhibitions in Argentina and abroad.
All images are gelatin silver prints.
