Moving through her obscurity, forever incapable of seeing her own features, of recognising them, suddenly emerging for a second from anonymity and then returning to nothingness, Paul Strand’s blind woman expresses this antagonism between the affirmation of identity and the representation of the face.
"The other. Perceive each human being (image of oneself) like a prison in which a prisoner lives, with all the universe around it."
Simone Weil
La pesanteur et la grâce
