(27) The Great Discovery
Mrs. Bento hasn't done housekeeping for the upstairs library for almost three weeks, busy helping Ginger with her school project, and spending time with the photo museum team in the pursuit of creating that Little House of Something on Photography. Since the project took flight, her sense with everything related to photography sharpens greatly, and it would not be a surprise to find her overcome with excitement when she rediscovers several shelves in the library are actually filled with photo books. Why haven't I noticed this before? She asks herself. Sometimes one can be so blind. she brushes the spine of each and every book with her fingers and tilted her head to read the titles.

Memorial Photography? She pulls the black, hard cover book out and turns over the pages. These are photographs of…dead children? She turns a few more pages. No, there are also men and women, mostly in beds or coffins. A small girl sat stiffly on an armchair, she wore a crown with small white flowers on her hair, her eyes closed, mouth slightly opened, both hands folded in a prayer on her frock. Another photograph shows an older woman in mourning clothes holding a baby, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, holding a small bouquet against its chest. From the description of the photographs, these images are almost eighty years old. Why would people want to photograph the dead? We almost can't bear to look at a corpse in the funeral, let alone posing and being in the same photograph with them. Mrs. Bento shivers slightly. In her memory, she has not seen too many dead faces, or, did she deliberately avoid them? She squeezes Sleeping Beauty back to the shelf and starts to examine the lower rack, which consists mainly of DVDs and CDs.

A Conversation of Five Photographs in our Bedroom? Sounds intriguing. She pulls out the jewel case and notices the text on the cover insert: An on-going research on the photographic culture in a series of recordings - #2001 - A conversation of five photographs in our bedroom: The Rose, The Kiss, The Blue Banjo, The Apple, Two Women.
