In an untitled Ellison photograph from the 1940s, a woman is being taken into custody by policemen.
The violence of the scene seems to have leached into the photograph itself, with its tears.
They raise the unsettling question that reverberates through “Invisible Man.”
In this crazy world, how can we tell what is going on?
