Human Rights Overture (UDHR) brings together the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a photomontage based largely on random photographs of TV news. The combination reveals a frightening gap between the high-flown principles of the UDHR and the realities that seep through the juddering, out-of-focus images. My own mask-like face looks inappropriately benign as I toy with the profoundly disturbing idea of identifying with some of the faces in the crowd. Are the people fighting for human rights or preventing them?--Lin Charlston, insert.
