November 3, 2015

This exhibition features the images Jerome Sessini took in the battlefield of Aleppo, Syria.

“When I come back from each trip, I am often asked what a warring city looks like. In this case, this relates to Aleppo. I feel a certain attraction for some cityscapes which have been transformed by war. Eagerness and stress which are specific to cities disappear, giving place to silence and lethargy. The heartbeat of the city slows down."

Jerome Sessini received a World Press Photo award for his work in Aleppo in 2013.
