Sticking with Afghanistan, I went to see an excellent exhibition at the Tate Modern a few weeks back. Simon Norfolk conceived a “collaborative project across time” with John Burke, a 19th century photographer. With the aim of replicating Burke’s earlier work, Norfolk has revisited Afghanistan to shoot portraits of troops, local people and the stunning landscape. Their work can be viewed side by side at the exhibition. A short video followed Norfolk as he snapped the country and revealed his thoughts on its people and the futility of war. See the exhibition online here and an interesting interview with Simon Norfolk here.
