“The Agony and The Ecstasy of The President”

March 21st, 2012

Neven Mrgan’s The Agony and The Ecstasy of The President:

I look at the faces of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson in my hands for what must be the ten-millionth time when the question pops into my head: who are these people? It’s like a virus in my head – a computer virus. I obsess over it. I stare at these unflinching, small pictures printed on squares of linen and I know I have to find out where they came from.

Brilliantly moving and gut-wrenching piece. I feel ready to sign a petition, really change things.
