• Jan Banning
    May 4th 1954, Almelo

    Dutch photographer and artist. Banning was born in the Netherlands from Dutch-East-Indies parents. He studied social and economic history at the Radboud University Nijmegen, and has been working as a photographer since 1981. A central theme of Banning's practice is state power, having produced series about the long-term consequences of war and the world of government bureaucracy.

Aftermath (1990s)

Over the years, especially in the 1990s and 2000s, I made several photo series about long-term consequences of wars. These resulted in two big projects in the years after 2000: Traces of War (see here, and for the book: here) and Comfort Women (here, and for the book: here).
In AFTERMATH, you can see the earlier series about different aspects of long-term consequences of wars.
