| "I work much more like a forensic photographer in a certain way, collecting evidence. I've started to take more still lifes, like a police photographer, collecting evidence as a witness. I've started to borrow a different strategy than that of the classic photojournalist. The work is much more factual and much less about good photography. I don't care that much anymore about 'good photography.' I'm gathering evidence for history, so that we remember." - Gilles Peress (U.S. News, October 6, 1997 http://www.photoquotes.com/showquotes)
This book sits on the edge of books by artists. Is it more photojournalism? It is a forensic/ archeological report of the exhumation of the mass graves on murdered Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica and Vukovar in Croatia. This book is featured in 'The Silent Scream; political and social comment in books by artists'. For more information see PUBLICATIONS. |
