Of particular interest is a work Jaar has done after the Rwanda
genocide. Major new organizations were hesitant to cover the
event itself. Instead, most of the new and images were of the
after-effects. Time, Newsweek, and other major
news sourses of the first world reported the "apocalypse" which
was taking place six months later at the refugee camps on the
Zaire side of the Rwanda-Zaire boarder. Jaar was in Rwanda
during the Massacres. He took thousands of photographs. For his
instillation on Rwanda, he placed each photo in a black box so
that the image could not bee seen. On each box he briefly
described the photo which could not be seen, "as if I were
describing the piture to someone who was blind."
