Background information
"After Christoph BANGERT showed the horror of war in all clarity with 'War Porn' and commented on its absurdity in the photo book 'Hello Camel', he reflects in 'Rumors of War', the third and last part of this series, on his motives for working in crisis areas and his difficulties in stopping this work.

'Rumors of War' by Christoph BANGERT is the personal diary of a now former war photographer who dares to say he misses war, and who first has to find his way in peace. He impressively describes his inner conflict between the overwhelming, addictive and ego-driven feeling of doing something meaningful and the knowledge of the concern of his family and friends, whom he forces to go through hell emotionally. The experience will stay with him for the rest of his life. But one thing is certain: he will never go to war again." (© Kehrer Verlag, 2021)
