A unique, arresting and versatile document of the traumatic earthquake which hit Haiti in 2010 and its aftermath. Encased in a cardboard box, the project comprises 16 unbound posters and a map page which draws attention to the epicentre and its rippling impact on the population of the island. The unique format allows the viewer to absorb each page individually or to hang the entire project. The visual testimony to the events of the the first days after the event are provided by award-winning photographer Ron Haviv and the essay by esteemed writer Simon Winchester.

"Chuck Sudetic provides an essay giving Haviv's photographs a historical, political, and cultural context. Sudetic sheds light on the forces behind the tragic cycles of war that have engulfed the Balkans over the past century. David Rieff offers an acute and impassioned defense of the document and the importance of witness. Bernard Kouchner, present-day governor of Kosovo, writes with vigorous morality and passion about the importance and implication of the past on the future of the former Yugoslavia. The images in Blood and Honey are further augmented by a chronology of the conflict and quotations from victims, perpetrators, political figures, and international observers that provide alternative and opposing voices about the war."--BOOK JACKET.
