About the Author

Christoph Bangert (born 1978)studied photography at the Fachhochschule Dortmund and at the International Center of Photography, New York. He graduated from ICP in 2003. Bangert was a semi-professional rally driver for four years. In 2002 he shipped an old green Land Rover from Germany to Buenos Aires and in six months, drove from Argentina, 22,000 miles to New York City. The journey resulted in his first book titled Travel Notes.
Bangert has worked in Palestine, Japan, Darfur, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, the US, Lebanon, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Iraq, where he spent about nine months in 2005 and 2006 on assignment for The New York Times. His work from Iraq is collected in the bookIRAQ: The Space Between.
His pictures have been published in leading international publications and he regularly photographs on assignment for The New York Times, Stern Magazine and Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Bangert won awards from World Press Photo, POYi and others and participanted in the Joop Swart Masterclass. After completing a 14 month long overland journey with his Land Rover across Africa he published a book called Africa Overland with National Geographic Germany in 2013. In recent years he started to compete in motorsports events again, particularly desert off-road rallies. Currently he is working on a long term project about the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Christoph Bangert lives in Uster, Switzerland.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful By LaJuana B. on October 3, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Bangert's book is disturbing, likely to cause controversy, and a major visual contribution to understanding how the (largely self-imposed) censorship of the media in democratic states distorts our understanding of suffering in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, where this photographer has created some of the most powerful and emotion-wrenching images of those "distant" conflicts. More than a distillation of graphic pictures from war and natural disaster (many of which were never published due to their disturbing and at times grotesque content) War Porn seeks to situate violence and representations of violence within a society served by massive structures of "knowing", such as news websites, TV channels and textbooks, that set subtly powerful limitations on what should be seen of what, and when, and how. Make sure to read the photographer's thoughtful preface and very personal afterword.
