British photographer Nick Danziger and Canadian writer Rory MacLean joined the efforts in documenting the plight of 15 families selected among thousands still waiting for news of the fate of their loved ones from the countries of fromer Yugoslavia, entangled in the regional conflicts during 1990s. The efforts culminated in a book, which promotes the work the International Committee of the Red Cross and other organizations have been doing since 1991 to trace missing persons in the Balkans. Now the exhibition, which was produced to accompany the publication is travelling through Europe and North America during 2010-11.
The selection of the stories from the book are accessible here.
See Nick Danziger’s video interview for The Economist here.
