Arles 2017 – The Cow and the Orchid, vernacular Colombian photography – The Eye of Photography

Timothy Prus is the curator of The Archives of Modern Conflict, and an atypical collector. He is the person who put together the controversial “Nein, Onkel!” archive, that depicts playful Nazi soldiers relaxing aside from the horrendous war. “You can go in many places around the world and discover photographs , very tightly linked to the individuals or the nature of the place. You meet people, friends of friends, in cafés, in street markets and little shops, and photos will start to emerge if you ask for them”, he explains.
