Conflict Time Photography

This book coincides with the centenary of the First World War and accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Modern. Conflict Time Photography explores the relationship between photography and sites of conflict over time, highlighting the fact that time itself is a fundamental aspect of the photographic medium
This lavishly illustrated book reveals the different perspectives which artists using cameras have brought to the sites they have depicted over different passages of time: from works made a few moments or one day after an event, to those made one year later or 10, 20, 30 and 100 years later.
Subjects covered include conflicts from all over the world in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, including key themes of landscape, ruination, reconstruction and the human cost of conflict.
Edited by Simon Baker, Curator, Photography and International Art, at Tate Modern.
