I actually think that is a peculiar kind of art, but they don;t look dead.
I thought they were going to be pictures of kids with their eyes closed
(like in the late 19th/early 20th centuries)

Oh, I'm not saying the children are dead. I've read the text. What I'm
saying is the people are portrayed as dead, in an artistic way,
perhaps. The eyes are open, but that is part of the trick. If you
close them, everything becomes clear and too antiseptic, journalistic.
It's art, yes. But I see dead people still. And I think that is her
point. Why she does it, I don't know. Just look at her self portrait
again. Anyway, I call this death photography.

Hmm, where did you get the idea these were dead children? I can't
find anything that suggests that other than the pale skin. She
talks about posing the kids etc. I'm not particularly fond of the
photo/paintings? but she has found a niche. Something that is
increasingly hard to do anymore.
