Interesting stuff! There were a lot of references I had to look up and I consequently learned a lot.
It makes me think back to a course I briefly took in college on the often problematic "gaze" that photographers, in particular photography by white Westerners, project on the world through their work. Regrettably, I was young and dumb and dropped out of the course, arguing with myself that such a topic was not worth a semester's worth of content. Boy have I grown to find how wrong I was, still kicking myself for that one...
I like this writing, because it is circular and baffling. A fair bit rings true. Some sentences are wonderful. Fresh voices are woefully needed.

I'm looking forward to what you write next.
