Louie Palu<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Between 2006 and 2010, Louie Palu made several visits to Afghanistan, the country where the US-led coalition was deployed in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. The year of his first visit was marked by a reorganisation of the Taliban and the launch of a major military offensive. In response, the George W. Bush administration ordered special, punctual deployments of troops to Afghanistan. Thousands of additional troops were sent by the US, but also by Canada, to fight the Taliban with the Afghan National Army.
\nDuring his travels, Louie Palu has produced several photographic series in which he documents different aspects of this troubled country. In black and white or in colour, the photographs he has produced are all ways of bearing witness to the conflict in Afghanistan at the end of the decade. Louie Palu is both the author of portraits, images documenting the daily life of soldiers and war medical services and images based more on his feelings. He develops an approach and a sensitive eye that takes some of the images beyond the documentary. One of the major issues underlying his work is the apprehension of the direct consequences of war on populations and territories.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
