3.0 out of 5 stars
Hard work, gentle package,
By Photo Politico "Chip" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forgotten War: Democratic Republic of the Congo (Paperback)
The great photography aside, the book presentation is innovative but very ginger. I'm afraid of cracking the spine on this beautiful work of art every time I want to read it. The whole package is held together with a heavy-duty rubber band (cool concept) and the book itself is just bound pages. It is a keepsake that I will treasure but can't return to too many times for fear of breaking it.
The photography is not VII's best showing. Many of the images are quiet and misreable in tone. The photographers move through brothels and hospitals, measuring the awful toll of the senseless and endless war in the Congo. As far as a full panorama of the conflict goes, this misses the target. Still, if you are a fan of reportage then this book is a must. |
