Since the birth of the photographic image in 1839, there has never been a world without conflict or war. 

This unfortunate fact parallels the meteoric rise of photography, first analogue, and most recently, digital photography, which has created a world in which we all live with images of atrocity on a daily basis. In the absence of the people who suffered these atrocities, how does a contemporary photographer respond? 

With the enduring architecture of war machines, bunkers, disfigured landscapes and infrastructure, these atrocity landscapes challenge us to bear witness to the past in the present.
