PIETER HUGO RWANDA 2004 VESTIGES OF A GENOCIDE Oodee London 2011 Hardcover, 28,8x 24,8 cm. 72 pages, profusely illustrated in colour. In perfect condition, as new. This publication from award-winning photographer Pieter Hugo bears unflinching witness to a landscape still scarred by genocide more than 10 years after the fact. Under Hugo's deferential gaze, it is not the visceral horrors that shock, but the lingering ephemera of everyday life that haunt the periphery.

Pieter Hugo (born 1976 in Johannesburg) is a photographic artist living in Cape Town. Major museum solo exhibitions have taken place at The Hague Museum of Photography, Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Ludwig Museum in Budapest, Fotografiska in Stockholm, MAXXI in Rome and the Institute of Modern Art Brisbane, among others.
