SOPHIE RISTELHUEBER

SOPHIE RISTELHUEBER'S WORK HAS BEEN A GREAT PERSONAL INFLUENCE. HER IMAGES OF INCREDIBLY DEEP BEAUTY CARRY DARK STORIES OF DESTRUCTION & VIOLENCE YET SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO AVOID THE VULGARITY OF THE DOCUMENTARY WAR PHOTOGRAPHY. THIS IMAGE COMES FROM FAIT, A SERIES SHE HAS SHOT IN KUWAIT JUST AFTER THE IRAQI TROOPS RETIRED LEAVING OIL FIELDS BURN THE DESERT. SOME 20 YEARS AGO SHE HAS SEEN WHAT I WAS TOO YOUNG TO SEE

HISTORY IS A REPETITION / & WE ARE STILL THERE IN THE MIDDLE
