Open Problem

Workshop

How are people
to be captured?

 

The method
itself limits
who is in scope.

 

A lens is
a boundary.
Beyond it:
blindness.

 

Behind the lens
the optic nerve:
blindness.

 

We attempt
to render the invisible
in the absence
of agreed definitions
of the invisible.

 

We attempt to enclose
those living
just out of frame.

 


 

Half-found from excerpts of "Can we capture homelessness? A critical evaluation of 'Capture-Recapture'" (Williams, 2010), which I do not recommend as an academic paper, but have stolen from anyways.
