Urban environments after conflict form the central focus of Wounded Cities, presenting a visual investigation into cities marked by trauma and recovery. The photographs explore both the physical scars on architecture and infrastructure and the subtle traces of social and cultural disruption within these spaces.
The book’s somber, reflective mood underscores the enduring impact of violence and upheaval on urban landscapes, revealing layers of damage and resilience. Resisting typical documentary approaches, the images delve into silence and absence, drawing attention to what remains and what has been lost. Published in 2008 by Routledge, this 300-page volume offers a nuanced exploration of post-conflict urbanity through a measured photographic strategy.
