Bosnia Revisited

Photographs by Steve Horn

August 30 - October 15, 2007

Main Gallery

More than thirty years ago photographer Steve Horn traveled through Bosnia in a Volkswagen bus which was both home-on-the-road and mobile darkroom. His images from the first trip capture the innocence of children in a landscape of peace, the conviviality of the culture and the rich architectural heritage of the Balkans. When he returned to Bosnia in 2003, it was to a country recovering from the tragedy of war. This time the spirit and resilience as well as the immense losses of the people compelled Horn's photographic attention. In some cases he found those he had captured on film as children, giving them photos documenting their childhood. His photographs and essays document a story of war, peace, and the sustaining nature of the human spirit.
