Luc Delahaye Taliban, 2001
LUC DELAHAYE trains his careful eye on current political conflicts from around our world. In the midst of unusually violent circumstances, he presents extraordinary scenes that emphasize commonality in the whole of the human experience. As we encounter his images here—both taken from the current war in Afghanistan—it is the people, not the awesome machinery of war, that we see. Rather than impress us with the incredible power and momentum of modern warfare, Delahaye slows us down. This stillness affords the space to empathize with the other, and despite our differences we together mourn the personal tragedies of war.
