War City

[Image: Jens Liebchen].

Lens Culture introduces us to German photographer Jens Liebchen's series DL07: stereotypes of war.
For the project, Liebchen "constructed a series of black-and-white photos of a city under seige [sic] – menacing helicopters buzzing abandoned buildings, furtive figures scrambling down deserted streets, smoke-filled skylines, blood-stained walls and sidewalks, too-young children armed with machine guns… Yet he took all of these photos in a city (Tirana, Albania) while it was at peace."
