Citizens Through Looking 
A collection of lyric essays dealing with spectatorship, identity, and the art object, focused on a group of mummified Incan children now in a museum in Argentina. How does the gaze change when one looks at at a person or an artifact? How can looking transform from an act of love to one of theft? Does it matter if the "thing" we are watching could once have returned our stare?
