Questions Without Answers presents the groundbreaking work of photo agency VII and includes over 50 stories by leading photographers such as Marcus Bleasdale, Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil and Christopher Morris. The extraordinarily talented group of photographers who make up this collective are at the forefront of digital, up-to-the minute photojournalism, providing an unflinching record of people and events around the world. From the end of the Cold War to the present day, this book brings together some of the most important, moving and compelling stories they have told – from images of 9/11 and the South Asian Tsunami to portraits of our most respected, cultural figures – and provides a powerful visual history of our changing world and its defining events.
Now made up of 11 eminent photographers - John Stanmeyer, Marcus Bleasdale, Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Ed Kashi, Antonin Kratochvil, Joachim Ladefoged, Christopher Morris, Stephanie Sinclair and Franco Pagetti - VII remains committed to recording, not just the battlefield, but social and cultural change worldwide.
What unites VII's work is a sense that, in the act of communication at the very least, all is not lost; reparation is always possible; despair is never absolute.
