The Geography of War

The work of Elin O’Hara Slavick, amassed in Bomb after Bomb, a Violent Cartography, focuses on information gleaned from soldiers, newspaper sources, aerial photographs, battle plans and maps. The resulting war-story reportage creates a “cartography of protest”.

The work of Elin O’Hara Slavick, amassed in Bomb after Bomb, a Violent Cartography, focuses on information gleaned from soldiers, newspaper sources, aerial photographs, battle plans and maps. The resulting war-story reportage creates a “cartography of protest”, smeared with a mix of watercolour, collage, ink, graphite and other techniques on paper. It includes planispheres of the Places Bombed by the United States from 1854 onwards (see picture), the Bombing of Dresden, Germany, 1939-1945, and a map of the Epicentre in Hiroshima, Japan, 1945.
