Alfredo Jaar: It is Difficult

In his first U.S. exhibition after a one-year sabbatical, Chilean-born Alfredo Jaar presents an installation of new photo-based works, taking the forms of video projection, transparencies on large-scale light boxes and still photographs.

Jaar’s work, which is political in nature, asks the viewer to think about how they receive infor-mation about world events, and how they respond to that information. It is difficult deals with racially-motivated violence and genocide in Africa.

Let There Be Light / It is difficult, a two-volume book set published in 1998, covers the Rwanda Project and ten years of Jaar’s work. It is available for $80.00.
