Carl De Keyzer produced a work entitled “the Trinity” that reminds the faithful evocation of a Christian mystery, where God sacrificed his son to pay for the mankinds. Trinity, triangle, as a geometric figure, loses the metaphysical meaning and become basis of the new art, “the optical triangle”. The triangle or Trinity in Keyzer’s work doesn’t include God in the top of the pyramid yet it shows the redemptive history from a “Tableaux d’Historie”, “Tableaux de Guerre” and “Tableaux de Politique”. In the Tableaux de Guerre, the photographer produced outstanding images in a panoramic prospective, allowing the viewer to create their ideal observation. These images of war zones, are a protest to accuse the world and his consumes, of bringing the evolution steps backwards to “tribal rituals”. The sublime use of landscape in a war concept, improved the idea beside the photo, showing again to his pictorial tribune the banality of horror, protesting against the “ silence of the tribunals” showing the rusty wreckages, the heaps of rubble, the bullet holes, the ruin in the breath taking landscapes where this treasure trove images. The photographs were the woman’s and children’s are queuing to have water from the only source near Orom refugee camp, at the risk of being kidnapped or raped by the rebels. The whole series of “Tableaux of War” shows the misery and devastation of those villages after the madness that they’ve been through , with the hysterical silence, far away to the synonym of peace. All this elements present that the photos wants to point the attention to the same destructive silence that our society is hiding for the sake of the “developed” side of the world.
