Life Magazine, April 19, 1968 presents a reproduction of a photo of Martin Luther King's funeral that ran in the publication Life. Here Jaar uses a simple graphic system to expose the racial fractures in the United States at the time of the Civil Rights leader’s death, a legacy that still lingers today. In one frame, Jaar represents all of the African Americans at the funeral march with black dots. In a second frame, he shows the white people present as red dots. There are thousands of black dots and only a few dozen red ones.

Alfredo Jaar’s ‘Untitled (Newsweek)’ displays an overview of Newsweek Magazine covers during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, exposing that domestic US news took clear precedence over any mention of the massive human tragedy unfolding in Rwanda. Jaar includes a running commentary below each of the covers, describing the parallel developments of the genocide and the inaction of the world’s leaders, and particularly the United Nations.
