Kabul, Afghanistan, 1996 Poster by James Nachtwey

This poster features a striking photograph by James Nachtwey depicting what had once been a central commercial district, now transformed into a moonscape of destruction. One of the most influential photojournalists of the last half-century, Nachtwey is known for his uncompromising and humanistic visual language, shaped by decades of documenting war, conflict, and social upheaval with an unwavering focus on human consequence.

The motif is part of the exhibition Memoria at Fotografiska, which brings together key works from across Nachtwey’s career. Spanning from the early 1980s to the present day, the exhibition traces his sustained engagement with the aftermath of conflict and crisis, revealing how large-scale destruction reshapes both places and lives.
