The Story Behind the Photo
THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO
In the second season of our mini-documentary series, "The Story Behind The Photo," Swedish photographer and anthropologist Staffan Löfving tells us about his 1994 trip to Sarajevo. Staffan discusses his extensive work in visual anthropology and his attempts to comprehend the political and social value of battle images in post-conflict cultures. Watch him describe what he refers to as "Imperfect Shots" in this episode. He donated the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina his collection of photos from Sarajevo.
