Technique and Medium: Black and white prints.

What is the concept of this exhibition?
I didn’t really have a concept in mind when taking these photos. They come from a series of pictures that I took randomly. The idea can be seen in the selection of photos. It came from my own awareness of violence, which can be seen everywhere.

Why did you choose Bang Bang (You’re Dead) as the title?
It’s the sound of the photos. It’s what I hear when I look at them.

Why did you shoot in black and white?
I used black and white to make the image pure.

There are a lot of children in these images.
Kids represent the future of violence. In their youth they’re playing with toy guns, but when they’re older, maybe it will be the real thing.

What would you say is the unifying theme of all your work, past and present?
I love taking photos randomly. In my travels I witness a lot of culture and tradition. Photography is different than writing because a picture speaks more powerfully than words are able to. Vasachol Quadri
