+++ "Invisible Witnesses - Chile 1973-1990" is a
photo art project by DG. Reiß, Hamburg.
+++ In October 1997, in March and November 1998
Reiß photographed locations in Santiago where
regime opponents - journalists, trade unionists,
teachers, priests and members of resistance
groups - had been murdered or discovered dead.
+++ The result is a set of contemplative photos
showing cobblestones, walls, ground, stones, etc.
+++ Commemoration - Many witnesses have been and
are made invisible by the military structures.
Until now they have remained in hiding or have
disappeared in the authoritarian hierarchy of
orders, discipline and obedience. +++
