Gottingen: Steidl, , 2013. Rilegato tela (cloth). Nuovo (New). Testi di Bryan Adams, Caroline Froggatt, Chris Parker. Fotografie a colori di Bryan Adams. 4to (33x25 cm). pp. 304. Nuovo (New). Prima edizione (First Edition). In his new book, Wounded: The Legacy of War, Bryan Adams presents portraits of young British soldiers who have suffered life-changing injury in Iraq and Afghanistan or during training. His lens bares witness to their scars, disability and disfigurement. This unexpected directness challenges the viewer. At the same time the images reveal the sheer grit and bravery of the victims who, despite personal sacrifice, live each day with continued vim, vigour and dignity. What we see are staggering portraits of inspiring individuals who whilst not faltering have stood the test of war and lived to tell the tale. The images come with haunting interviews which provide a narrative to each personal journey to recovery.

Nel suo nuovo libro, Wounded: The Legacy of War, Bryan Adams presenta i ritratti di giovani soldati britannici che hanno subito lesioni che cambiano la vita in Iraq e Afghanistan o durante l'addestramento. Il suo obiettivo testimonia le loro cicatrici, disabilità e deturpazioni. Questa inaspettata franchezza sfida lo spettatore. Allo stesso tempo, le immagini rivelano la pura grinta e il coraggio delle vittime che, nonostante il sacrificio personale, vivono ogni giorno con costante energia, vigore e dignità. Ciò che vediamo sono ritratti sbalorditivi di individui ispiratori che, senza vacillare, hanno superato la prova della guerra e sono sopravvissuti per raccontarla. Le immagini sono accompagnate da interviste inquietanti che forniscono una narrazione di ogni viaggio personale verso la guarigione.
