The mask in the picture,

generally attributed to Abraham Lincoln that expression according to which, at a certain age every man has the face it deserves because it is what he himself has provided, the face that he has set. Refound the topic of the mask, this formulation is right to put us face to face with what is our responsibility to our gestures, our responsibility with this biography physiognomy expressed in our face as the memory of our successive mediations gesture designed to be enrolled in an environment at a gesturally human community itself mediated. From this angle I think the tradition of portrait photography and different techniques, by adding props to the human touch or explicitly run, try to evade this responsibility towards a photogenic here can be read as a loss of gestural memory.
In recognition of this responsibility as the subject of the portrait photograph identify the difference, for example, between a Disdéri and Nadar.

In 1963 Richard Avedon photograph CASBY William, "born a slave." I find it downright impossible to escape the vacuum of that expression, born a slave, escape the glass vacuum Likewise those eyes and in that failure, identify the correctness of the word of Roland Barthes in his saying that "the essence of Slavery is here laid bare "(Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida ). Slavery to be naked in his mask, its appearance as the memory of all the gestures of a slave, being born a slave, given once a face. The mention of the birth directs my attention to the accumulation of time which can be seen in the jaw, blows that fall curd. Then I remember that for Latinos the mask, person says the social role, to gestures that are required in the present society as free man or slave born, then too, points toward the gens , the lineage that enables them to one way or another presentation. William CASBY, injured his face, now appears as a mask even earlier, as a further memory deep, as the current manifestation of a charge or return to the act of the dead, lost lineage, names forgotten, old gestures of all slaves born.
