Question

A project created by Lukas Birks and Sean Foley highlights this country’s tradition of photos hand-developed within its namesake box cameras. A staged photo of a fictional event in this country, which is extensively analyzed in the last essay of Susan Sontag’s Regarding the Pain of Others, depicts a man who dangles a bit of flesh in front of a second, bloody-faced man jokingly riding a third amidst a “dialogue of the dead.” For Time, Jodi Bieber photographed a noseless woman born in this country, for which Jeff Wall’s (*) Dead Troops Talk (10[2])is partly subtitled. A refugee from this country, who wears a teal undergarment visible through tears (10[1])in her (10[1])loose red headscarf, (10[1])stares intently at the viewer in an 1984 photo taken by Steve McCurry. For 10 points, name this home country of Sharbat Gula, a green-eyed woman whose portrait appeared on the cover of National Geographic. ■END■
