Things Left Unsaid
A recurrent theme in Seawright’s work as a photographer is the suggestion that the real subject or event has taken place elsewhere. The power of his images often rests on what is not shown or directly described.
Things Left Unsaid (2014) is a series of photographs of US television news studios in which the war in Iraq was reported. Seawright focuses on the illusory nature of these spaces, where information is selectively transformed into news. The absent images of the brutality and destruction of war are the real subject of these photographs, they are the ‘things left unsaid’.
