€ 56,00
It was a photograph of Nicaragua by Wessing that Roland Barthes referred to in a passage in his seminal work on the theory of photography, Camera Lucida: "I was glancing through an illustrated magazine. A photograph made me pause. Nothing very extraordinary: the (photographic) banality of a rebellion in Nicaragua: a ruined street, two helmeted soldiers on patrol; behind them, two nuns. Did this photograph please me? Interest me? Intrigue me? Not even. Simply, it existed (for me)..."
Nicaragua '78 is a significant photographic work by Koen Wessing, capturing the atmosphere of Nicaragua during the year 1978. The book provides a visual report on the country's social reality, specifically highlighting the dynamics of protest and the presence of people in the midst of conflict. Notable scenes include the impact of military patrols and the human toll of political tension. Wessing is recognized for his visible involvement in the events he captures, often creating a sense of theatrical tension and personal connection with the subjects. The work is characterized by the focused gazes of the subjects and the palpable social dynamics of the time, particularly in areas affected by the Sandinista offensive and the actions of President Somoza's army. It remains a key piece for understanding the visual history of 20th-century protest photography.
