拍品专文
Simon Norfolk is a landscape photographer whose work over the last ten years has been themed around a probing and stretching of the meaning of the word 'battlefield' in all its forms. As such, he has photographed in some of the world's worst war-zones and refugee crises.
This image depicts a path leading up to the mass grave-site Crni Vrh, Bosnia. To deter anyone from examining the site, the Serbs seeded the area with landmines. War crime investigators have cleared the path and graves are marked as still active minefields.
Norfolk's work has been widely recognised and he has received a number of awards including Le Prix Dialogue at Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2005, and The Infinity Prize from The International Center of Photography in 2004.
Norfolk's work can be found in major collections such as The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and Tate Modern, London.
Gift of the artist.
