The photographs of Pulitzer Prize winner Anja Niedringhaus have made their way around the world: images of the siege of Sarajevo and the flight from Kosovo, of seagulls circling above the ruins of the World Trade Center, of American soldiers fighting for the Iraqi city of Fallujah, of children playing in Kabul, and of Western troops patrolling the province of Kunduz. Niedringhaus’ photographs tell the stories of international crises and conflicts, and have become part of our collective memory. And yet the œuvre of the photographer, who was shot dead in 2014 while on assignment in Afghanistan, consists of much more than her iconic images.

Photography provides the first comprehensive insight into Niedringhaus’ work from different phases and contexts. In addition to her early black-and-white photographs, it features her beginnings as a photojournalist for local newspapers and her color images from the wars in the disintegrating Yugoslavia. Photography also shows Niedringhaus’ unique view into politics and society, and takes us into a sphere that she regularly visited: the world of sports. The diversity of Niedringhaus’ work as a traveling photographer for the Associated Press is evident from the regions in which she was assigned: Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Gaza, Israel, the West Bank, and repeatedly Afghanistan. Her photos reveal the country’s recent history and hope for freedom, and have long since become historical witnesses themselves. Not least for this reason, this ambitious publication presents Niedringhaus’ compelling work in an appropriately substantial form: seven hardcovers in a handmade wooden slipcase.
