The collector of smiles
On August 26, 1990, on the second page of The New YorkTimes, published a photograph of a bombing occurred duringthe Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. A few meters from the bodiesof apair of civilians, a girl looked at what looked like a doll, while the article mentioned to 18 Kuwaiti exiles, who reminded theircompatriots over 500 dead. And while there was a relationshipbetweentext and image, the face of the girl talked about another story that had nothing to do with the characters portrayed.
