Specialist note

“As an artist, I must constantly remind myself of my role in the culture in which I live. It is easy to lose focus when trying to be both powerless and important at once. …We must continue to learn from history’s lessons in order to be able to change it.” (V. Muniz, “Introduction,” Vik Muniz: Reflex, exh. cat., Miami Art Museum, Miami, 2005, p. 7.)
