Beskrivning

Eric Lesdema’s photographic series Fortunes of War was awarded the UN Nikon World Prize in 1997. Originally a series of fifteen images, this extended edit includes 83 colour photos, accompanied by a series of essays by leading academics in the field. The essays explore ideas raised by the prescient nature of the work, offering a highly original and engaging debate about its alternative approach to documentary photography, which views photography as an alternate space with the potential to project events rather than record them. In exploring an approach that cuts against the traditional concept central to documentary photography since its inception, the book thus raises important questions about twenty-first century interpretations and applications of photography and media. With thought-provoking research and a diverse array of essay contributions, Fortunes of War proposes new lines of interdisciplinary investigation, reflection and inquiry.

Recensioner i media

'Eric Lesdema’s Fortunes of War offers an enticing and fundamentally unsettling engagement with the tensions (war) and consequences of the everyday. Nothing – not even the project title– can be taken at face value. As is suggested, image-meaning and significance float freely sometimes finding temporary anchors within specific conceptual or social contexts. Resonances between essays and images intrigue in this complex publication that takes its time to seduce the reader.'
