Photographs by Philippe Geslin Philippe Geslin is an ethnologist, anthro- pologist and photographer. “Each of my travels is a new beginning, an almost stubbornness. I am taking time, as a sensi- tive, curious and demanding vagabond to unfold the territories of beings and things, to reveal the backstage, to follow the meanders, to restore the sensible, the harmless. In these distant lands, it is in the imperceptible and the tenuous that we seize the universe.” Philippe uses photog- raphy as a mode of literary expression as he tries to give an accurate account of everyday life of small communities from the last hunter-gatherers of East Africa and the Maasai breeders in Tanzania to the last Inuit hunters in Greenland. “The Inuit here have so much to teach us—we who keep nature at a distance and pay the heavy price for it.” Iceberg in Nutaarmiut Bay, Upernavik District, northwest Greenland. 2 / ZEKE FALL 2018 ZEKE FALL 2018/ 3 Lars Jensen coming from a dog sled race, Kullorsuaq, Upernavik District, northwest Greenland.

Now, as the migrant crisis in Europe once more brings the Balkans back into the news, the Worcester Art Museum will present an exhibition of original works titled Blood and Honey, drawn from Haviv’s book of the same name. Organized by the Museum in collaboration with the artist, this is the fourth and final exhibition in a series that explores the work of photojournalists documenting areas of conflict—and the impact of conflict on both civilians and soldiers alike—as part of the Museum’s larger Knights! installation, which presents arms and armor in both an art historical and social context. Blood and Honey opens today and will continue through the close of Knights! on November 6, 2016. Haviv’s photographs presented the Balkan conflicts to the world with clarity and candor, tracking the escalation of the Yugoslav civil war from loosely organized militias with small weapons to the eventual deployment of tanks and heavy weaponry on all sides. His images also document the devastation the wars brought to the people of the region: ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration, and forced starvation; a massive refugee crisis; war crimes at a staggering scale; and more than 130,000 deaths.
