“Shrapnels”
by Marko Georgiev is a selection of photographs made during
last year’s war crisis in Macedonia. It is a view of the events, a
critic of the entire press machinery, the actions of all
institutions,individuals, armies and special units mostly towards the
reporters, but also the reporters themselves towards the situation. Many
texts and information about individuals and events at the time of the
military actions could not have been published because of the seriousness
of the situation.
This time, Georgiev, who went out in he field to take photographs of the
crisis by his own will, discovers the dirty side of journalism, the
invisible side that has no
place in the TV reports,
journalists texts, censorship and selection of
information. He enters
the intimacy of the people directly influenced by the war, describing
events about the reporters themselves and the way they got the wanted
information and photographs. The accent in the photographs and texts is
put on the global, silent and unimposed censorship, where the domestic
journalists
weren’t
successful and the foreign ones used that as an advantage.
