Eric Lesdema's photographic series Fortunes of War was awarded the
UN Nikon World Prize in 1997. Originally a series of fifteen
images, this extended edit includes 83 colour photos, accompanied
by a series of essays by leading academics in the field. The essays
explore ideas raised by the prescient nature of the work, offering
a highly original and engaging debate about its alternative
approach to documentary photography, which views photography as an
alternate space with the potential to project events rather than
record them. In exploring an approach that cuts against the
traditional concept central to documentary photography since its
inception, the book thus raises important questions about
twenty-first century interpretations and applications of
photography and media. With thought-provoking research and a
diverse array of essay contributions, Fortunes of War proposes new
lines of interdisciplinary investigation, reflection and inquiry.
