This image our called Viewer because of the art and order standing. For example "The viewer is able to see the bodies of these people moving slightly providing a sense of presence that is palpable: the viewer has the sense of being viewed. Hill has not given these people a voice but he has given them an extraordinary presence that can be compared to the portraiture of Rembrandt for example". It's describe the art like a movie.

This is a self portait like afraid with some thing. For example "In Wall Piece, the image of a man repeatedly flinging himself at a wall and speaking a single word with each impact is projected on the wall of a completely darkened space. During recording, a single flash of extreme high intensity strobe light (the only light source) “captured” the body at the moment of contact. These singular moments were then edited together to form a linear text and a sequence of a body in various positions up against a wall". It's describe the look and freely.
