"Alfredo Jaar's Geography = War, by proposing an
opposition between two forms of seeing (the fixed and the
fleeting, the gaze and the glimpse) is perhaps playing with the
possibility of going beyond the dual 'frame of mind' 'which
always produces and object for the subject or a subject for an
object.'  The installation might then suggest the possiblity of a
glimpse, the 'other' a fleeting moment in time, whose 'identity'
may not become the object of appropriative observation"
(Adriana Valdes, 1992)
