12 C-prints

In the world of American television, forensic evidence is the new god. A person is known by their dental work. The killer is caught. The killer is punished. In much of the rest of the world, however, a set of dental records is a luxury reserved for those with access to power. Until very recently, mass graves could not be sorted out. Instead, as in the work of Sara Maneiro, teeth sink back into the landscape, which, in her photographs, are lush, gorgeous places of beauty. We come from the earth and we return to the earth, unknown and unknowable.
