Aperture 97 - Winter 1984
Aperture 97
This issue of Aperture addresses the process of recording conflict. It is not concerned with the photography of war or the struggle of armed combatants. It reflects a historical pattern from the turning point of modern European history in the streets of Prague in 1968 to the continuing American military as well as cultural presence in Japan. Between the forces of invasion and occupation the circle of retribution persists in Northern Ireland and Beirut.
