"BRINK is the new Punctum publication of David Butow's photographs documenting the January 6th, 2021 riots at the United States Capitol. Any single one of Butow's powerful images supports the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Yet taken as a whole, the 100 color photographs that comprise BRINK can render even the most opinionated viewer speechless. BRINK is an important body of images; a historical record of the power of myths. Myths of great countries, of democracies and other assorted political structures, of checks and balances, of elections - that are neither fair nor free." --full review here
