One way of accepting the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” regarding some photograph is to take it to mean that that photograph initially arrested the viewer’s interior monologue for the interval during which on average a thousand words pass through his or her mind. It is only such a picture that is worth subsequently writing a thousand words about. A good number of such pictures in the Arab Image Foundation’s collection still await those who “say in ten sentences what everyone says in a book—what everyone does not say in a book” (Nietzsche). In addition to new arresting photographic and visual works, AIF’s Review of Photographic Memory welcomes such “thousand words” even regarding screen memories and imaginary photographs (Borges: “It is a laborious madness and an impoverishing one, the madness of composing vast books—setting out in five hundred pages an idea that can be perfectly related orally in five minutes. The better way to go about it is to pretend that those books already exist, and offer a summary, a commentary on them.… I have chosen to write notes on imaginary books. These notes are ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ and ‘A Survey of the Works of Herbert Quain.’” ).
