Nothing Personal - the back office of war
Everyday on the news we are watching pictures of war and destruction and the expenditure on armaments is setting new records year after year.
Well, let‘s take a look at the other side of the subject – behind the curtains of
global defence business. Nothing Personal shows the back office of war,
which is the complete opposite of a battlefield: A oversized playground for adults with vine, fingerfood and shiny weapons. Dead bodies here are mannequins or pixels on screens of a huge number of simulators. Bazookas and machine
guns are plugged into flatscreens and war action is staged in an artifical environment infront of a tribune full of high ranked guests, ministers, heads of states, generals and traders.
I deliberately don't show you the faces of the participants. It is not my intention to fix everything upon a certain person. I just want to give an insight at this exclusive happening. The pictures have been taken at 14 defence fairs on 5 continents.
