James Hill's English tour of the exhibition «Between War and Peace».

The exhibition at The Lumiere Center features series shot in conflict zones such as Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq; peaceful moments in Russia and abroad; as well as complex stories about Beslan and Chernobyl balancing on the verge of war and peace. These images never die out, as James says: “Even though these instants may be frozen visually many remain for me emotionally unresolved, still demanding my attention years after I first witnessed them”. James Hill’s essays first with Russian translation alongside the photographs tell the stories and emotions behind the images, encouraging to ponder over the balance between professional detachment and private involvement into the event that any photojournalist is to face.
