Bullet-scarred outdoor cinema at the Palace of Culture in the Karte Char district of Kabul. Possibly 2002 - 2007

"Bullet-scarred outdoor cinema at the Palace of Culture in the Karte Char district of Kabul" is a large-format photograph taken by Simon Norfolk, depicting a ruined outdoor cinema in Kabul, Afghanistan. The image, taken between 2002 and 2007, captures the devastation left behind by years of conflict, with bullet holes marking the screen and the surrounding area. This stark reminder of the impact of war offers a powerful commentary on the loss of cultural spaces and the fragility of peace. Norfolk's work is known for its documentary style and focus on the human impact of war and conflict.
