Raphaël Dallaporta
ANTI-PERSONNEL (2004)
It would appear from the photographs of Raphaël Dallaporta that land mines come in an almost infinite variety of shapes, designs and materials, from a glass land mine and home-made mines to a landmine with the sinister nickname of ‘the broom’, because after it explodes thousands of sharp shards of metal sweep the area, making short work of everything in the vicinity. Dallaporta took the land mines and various other pieces of ordnance out of their ‘natural’ environment and photographed them as an advertising photographer would photograph exclusive watches.
