dc.descriptionThe word is the shadow double of the photographic image. Where the image is frozen, he word can move. The word is a shadow with arms and legs: it can walk through walls.On my wall is an image. It is a photograph of two people, Moroccans, standing on a street in Rabat. They are embracing each other and smiling gleefully at the camera. One is a director, the other an actor. They are both women. They are the future of Moroccan theatre, and they are fixed in time by the image. Their words, however, move through me to you, across the boundaries of time and space, of language and culture. Their words shatter the confines of the photograph and escape the pretty prison of image.We, and they, are surrounded by the pernicious and paralyzing photographic product; we reach for each other with our word-bodies through the stiff, two-dimensional walls of frozen time.-
