Hearts of darkness book jana monroe
For most writers and certainly for most photographers the reality of suffering is incommunicable There are several reasons for this mostly to do with our own sloth and cowardice as an audience We sit in our armchairs like television viewers staring at sequences of battle we have a whole armoury of mental mechanisms designed to spare us anything than momentary glancing involvement Nor is the war photographer himself or the writer dabbling in reality so very different He too has his mechanisms his arms length procedures for gazing upon the agony of others Don McCullin can do nothing lazily nothing that does not touch upon the enigma of existence In a grey confused elusive ever compromising world he has the gall to think of life and death and the purpose of existence From thousands of compelling images McCullin has chosen for this book only his finest and most enduring works They range from the faintly menacing tranquillity of rural England to the horrors of war in Vietnam the Congo and all the other black places where men destroy each other to the ravages of famine and pestilence in Bangladesh and Cambodia and back to the faces of England rich and poor Hearts of Darkness
