| The photographer, Jeff Mermelstein's favorite picture from the collection |
As the 10th anniversary of September 11th passes, artists and journalists around the world are showing there interpretations in stories, videos and photographs globally. St John's opened an exhibit for the months of september and october that memorializes september 11th through the lens of Jeff Mermelstein. Mermelstein refers to himself as a "war photographer" who takes pictures of disaster sites. One of his photographs, featured below, is the most sold photograph worldwide. It was the first documented picture of september 11th. As explained by the curator, in the Dr. M. T. Geoffrey Yeh Art Gallery, it makes us ask ourselves how do we resolve conflict? why did this happen? did we deserve it? The exhibit is mainly composed of photographs, however a major part includes a room with 3 chalk walls in which people could share there views of the event.
