Nikita Teryoshin employs a documentary approach to reveal the often unseen bureaucratic and logistical mechanisms behind warfare. The photographs focus on the administrative spaces and personnel that support military operations, shedding light on the ‘back office’ realities that are integral yet rarely visible in conventional war imagery.

The book Nothing Personal: The Back Office of War presents a stark and clinical view of these environments, emphasizing themes of impersonality and detachment within the machinery of conflict. Through this perspective, the work challenges traditional narratives of heroism and frontline combat by foregrounding the systemic infrastructures that enable war to function.

Published by GOST in 2024, the 182-page volume offers a contemplative visual record that encourages reflection on the organizational complexities and the human factors intertwined in modern warfare.
