(ANSA) – ROME, DECEMBER 07 – Twenty years of war in Afghanistan, but above all the stories of the Afghans injured every day.
Giles Duley has seen and documented them as a photographer, but the time has come, he tells ANSA, “to take an active position”. “We have to look at war the same way people look at the environmental issue because we cannot remain silent when we see the destruction of our planet.” Photographer, documentary maker and writer, born in 1971 in London, Duley has documented the long-term impact of conflicts on the civilian population in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Congo, Angola, Bangladesh, Kenya, Ukraine, Jordan, Lebanon, Colombia , Vietnam and Nigeria. And he paid with his own skin: in 2011, while working in Afghanistan, he was seriously injured by an explosive device and had to undergo a triple amputation. But, despite this, in 2012 he returned to the country to continue his work. And now Emergency is exhibiting a preview of the new photographic project ‘No more war’, with freelance photographer Emma Francis, which can be seen in the context of the Fair of Small and Medium Publishing More free books, at the Cloud, at Eur, until December 8th. On display about 60 photographs and 16 portraits in which Duley and Francis tell the impact of decades of conflict also experienced on their own skin and the awareness of the failure of Western intervention in Afghanistan and of any foreign policy based on violence.
