You never see them like this

One thought on “You never see them like this”

• Fabulous interview – interesting that he says he can’t come up with any truisms about what war is & that he is trying to capture the “texture ” of war. Also interesting is that he feels he needs to add a section in which the soldiers have their say – he wants to give a voice to the soldiers, which reminds me very much of the poems(?) written by the subjects in Jean-Louis Courtinat’s collection at the Arles exhibition. Unlike in Courtinat’s exhibition, Hetherington chooses to put the writing at the end of the book – Courtinat had the people’s writings next to their images. How would this change our perception/reception of the images, I wonder.
