“David Zink Yi’s Untitled (2013), (...) is a photograph of a miner lowering a cable into an unseen shaft in a mine near Lima, Peru. Zink Yi spent several months in this country, working on various projects, around the area of the silver mine in the department of Ayacu- cho in central Peru. In the distance of the picture, we see the light of another miner or rescue worker peering into the same lack.The lighting in the photograph gives off an eerie quality much like photographs from the late nineteenth, early twentieth century of séances and ghosts. Without a context we are left to wonder whether this is a standard operation or whether it might be something more si- nister.As we go deeper into the earth,we also go further back into its history,one layer covering whole societies of people, animals, and further. (...) silver is immediately called to mind in the photograph, as well as the darkness necessary for analog photography. But we may wonder whether, in the words of Nietzsche,“If you look long enough into the void the void begins to look back through you.”
