This title offers a stark, yet stunning photographic journey through the collapse of communism in former USSR and Iron Curtain countries by world renowned photographer Bruce Haley. Best known for his coverage of Burma's bloody civil war - for which he was awarded the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal, Bruce Haley is one of the most acclaimed photographers of the 20th-century. Produced between 1994 and 2002, the images in "Sunder" sweep the viewer along on a far-reaching journey through numerous former USSR and Iron Curtain countries, stopping at landscapes of ruin and moments of grace in equal measure, presenting a stark perspective of the collapse of the communist empire. Bleak and brimming with the realism that only a photographer as seasoned as Haley could achieve, and in contrast with his conflict-based coverage, which was dominated by lush colour imagery depicting the most horrific acts of violence imaginable, it seems as though this project is as much a portrait of the photographer himself as it is an invaluable historical archive.
