Mighty Silence Images of Destruction: The Great Earthquake and Tsunami of East Japan
"...these somber landscapes of debris are shown in glaring detail, with each broken chair, loose shoe, and smashed plank conveying displacement and privation. Here is a seafood processing plant that has been mangled into abstraction; a train coach that has been tossed among a cemetery's headstones; as well as ravaged cars, dislodged buildings, and collapsed factories. Although people are conspicuously absent from the photographs, introductory text--provides much needed perspective, with firsthand accounts of the disaster and its aftermath. The photographs and text provide a vital document of a tragedy that left scars across the world."~Publisher's Weekly"These calm, oddly homely scenes are meant to be meditated upon—not just as documentation but as a memento mori." ~Wall Street Journal
