You could argue (I’m sure someone has) that photographs of violence have an especially insidious appeal because all photographs are made in violence. A photograph, or even a YouTube fragment of film, lacks context, is pulled free from the background that would give it meaning. Photos pretend to tell us truths - a photograph “seems to have a more innocent, and therefore more accurate, relation to visible reality than do other mimetic objects,” wrote Susan Sontag - but, of course, they’re limited in what they tell. But you can’t make sense of it unless you can say, not just see, something about what’s going on. (“While I am loathe to expose this young man any further, but this must be shown,” Melanie Nathan blogs while hawking one video. No, it mustn’t.) There’s a panicked compulsion to give us more and more pictures to consume, partly because they drive up Web traffic, partly because they lend an urgency that makes mere explanations seem distracting.

Everybody knows about Putin’s anti-gay law, because it’s been at the top of the news, gay and straight, for two weeks running and if you’ve been following this even slightly, you’ve seen images like these - of homophobes brutally abusing Russian queers.īut what do they mean? Clips and snapshots keep cropping up on Western blogs. Russia now is a story told in pictures, still and moving.
