SUSAN E. EVANS STUDIO

Prior to the 9.11 terrorist attacks no event in history had received an overwhelming media barrage of the same scale. Media images, sound bites, imbedded journalist testimonials and digital/mobile phone video clips were isolated fragments pieced together for ‘us’ constructing a historical narrative thus shaping collective memory of the events and defining our US history. As participant and witness, The Story defines the times thus writing the past.  In true documentary/journalistic form, it is often that which is implicit in images that make them so poignant rather than that which is explicit.
