War, technology, distance

“What would Robert Capa have made of drone warfare and the amalgamation of cameras and weaponry? Smart bombs may have brought the lens closer to death and destruction but, says Paul Wombell, theyʼve made the experience of war much more distant. The challenge for artists and photographers, he argues, is to resist the pull of the frontline and portray a truth thatʼs much closer to home.”
