Photograph Controversy

Photographer Jill Greenberg has whipped up a storm of controversy with her new exhibition, End Times. The pictures in the show, for which she deliberately provoked tearful outbursts from children by taking away lollipops she had just given them, have been described by some as tantamount to child abuse.

Greenberg herself insists that the children had the sweets returned within 30 seconds, that no lasting harm has been done, and that her concern was to depict what she says reminded her of the "helplessness and anger I feel about our current political and social situation."

Can I go kick her ass? You know, just to photograph her reaction.....for the sake of art!

The bruises would go away and no permanent injury would occur, I'm sure.

Those are photographs? They look like bad Saturday Evening Post illustrations!

It is kind of mean but a child's frustration over candy snatching lasts about 15 seconds. Give it back and they quickly recuperate.

Half Canadian:

Is she comparing the anti-war left's reaction to Bush to children throwing a tantrum because they had their candy taken away?

Because, if she's doing that, I whole-heartedly aggree with her.

As far as eliciting said tantrums, I'm sure the parents signed release forms. I'll bet that the tykes cried much more from their immunizations.
