Alfredo Jaar’s archive of newspaper reports force us to hone in our perception of how events and public figures are covered in the media. The Village Voice features a portrait of Henry Kissinger on the front page and articulates its contents of an article by journalist James Ridgway ‘How you can arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes’. The headline ‘Manhattan’s Milosevic’ parallels Kissinger with Slobodan Milošević, who as President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1997-2000, and a high ranking member of the League of Communists of Serbia during the 1980s is one of the figures considered responsible for the Bosnian Genocide (1995) carried out by the Bosnian Serbs against the Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims). The judgement that the Srebernica massacre in Bosnia was genocide was reached in 2001, the year of this cover. Jaar’s selection of the cover enforces his position of Kissinger’s culpability for war crimes which become all the more pertinent when he is paralleled with Milosevic.
