The voice is the body's memory. To recite stories from memory — the excerpt from the Cecil B. de Mille film that is repeated in The Stage, for example — shows the power that words hold over the memory of a man who remembers. The same apparatus is at work in Reality and Motive in Documentary Photography, Part 3: the male and female voices falter several times, revealing the implied theatre and the tragedy of illusion.
As actors portraying their own lives in grotesque or pitiful situations, they are graced with undeniable presence.
They make up a vast den of thieves who, by exhibiting stumps and scars, pre sent the remarkable strangeness
of the never seen.
