  Statement
 

Through Their Eyes is the unfolding of the stories of servicemen during W.W.II through their personal photographs.

A dusty album of tattered photographs was found in a garage... in it were about 1,000 unlabeled images taken by the men, telling of their experiences during the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

This is a narrative told in multiple anonymous voices mediated and unified by the one voice of camera. The camera serves not only to frame their stories, it appears as a central character with a presence of its own, both in their images, and as the mode of access to the images themselves.
