Indications of a new visual order: In this exhibition an encyclopedic range of material from past and present is brought together through the medium of the camera which is used as recorder, reporter, and scientific investigator. As a recorder of nature objects, works of art, architecture and technics; as reporter of human events the images of which sometimes come to have a power of expression and plastic organization analogous to the symbol in art; and as scientific investigator extending the visual scale and range, by use of enlargements, X-rays, wide-angle lens, high-speed and aerial photography. / Parallel of Life and Art (1953).

A7), and does not smile. Her purpose in Brenda’s psychological makeup is to deal “with anger by expressing feelings verbally” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7). She is “the disciplinarian for Brenda’s son” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7). Janice, age 16, has “shoulder-length auburn hair, green eyes, slim build” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7), and “dresses casually” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7). She “speaks with a strong foreign accent from the years Brenda lived overseas and laughs about the destruction she causes” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7). She is an alcoholic with an attraction for bars and casual sex. Her purpose is to express “anger by misbehaving and emotionally hurting others” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7).

She is “still coming to grips with being a teenager” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7) because she has recently grown from 11 to 19 “with the help of a therapist” (Reich, 1989b, p. A7). Her purpose is to deal with sexual problems. / Alterations of Consciousness.
