 The Exodus III, 2001 -- The Voice of the Silence

Santa Fe--Monroe Gallery of Photography, 112 Don Gaspar, is honored to announce representation of the photographic portfolio The Voice of The Silence by Rikki Reich that has been described as "as a truly coherent sequence of photographs unique in its visual and emotional impact." Photographed from the vantage of the Jersey City waterfront on September 11, 2001, The Voice of the Silence is a portfolio of 16 photographs that capture the sequential fall of the World Trade Towers.


The portfolio is available as 16 x 20 and 20 x 24 limited edition digital pigment prints on Hahnemühle paper. The first - ever public showing of selected prints will take place March 29 – April 1 at Monroe Gallery of Photography (booth #419) during the 2012 AIPAD Photography Show, The Voice of the Silence will be exhibited at the Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe, NM in September of 2012. The New York Times Lens Blog first published the series of photographs on May 4, 2011, following the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden. At the time, David Dunlap wrote: “Her photographs also convey an awful tranquility, a suspension of everyday existence, the silence of shock.”

 The Voice of the Silence is in the Photographic Collections of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History and the Library of Congress in Washington, DC and The National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York. In 2003 the work was nominated for the Henri Cartier Bresson Award in Paris, and has been submitted to the 2012 World Press Photo Awards and the 2012 Pulitzer Prize Committee for Feature Photography.
