Malvinas War Veterans (10 Photos)

Link: PDN Photo of the Day

Argentinian photographer Juan Travnik captured the remnants of the 1982 Malvinas (Falklands) War through his haunting landscapes taken on the islands and the portraits of the conscripts and low grade military who fought there. Travnik says, “I was looking to show the effect of the passing of time on the bodies of its protagonists: their physiognomy and attitudinal gestures after so many years of having undergone the critical experience of war, the links and similarities which may or may not weave these photographed faces together, and the way they construct their image in the eyes of ‘the other’.”
