In Country: Soldier’s Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan<\/em>
Jennifer Karady
SF Camerawork
May 6 – August 7, 2010<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

This month we’re featuring Jennifer Karady’s new work: In Country: Soldier’s Stories from Irag and Afghanistan,<\/em> currently on view at SF Camerawork in San Francisco. The project reflects upon a widely under-publicized consequence of the ongoing war on terror; the post-battle physical and psychological burden of war zone trauma borne by enlisted individuals.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
Photographed near their homes in the United States after an extensive interview process, Karady encourages the subject’s immediate family and close friends to help bring their wartime memories into focus against the backdrop of our everyday landscape. This collaborative effort creates a visual experience for the viewer that while still quite abstract, offers a far more personalized window into their stories than an evening newscast ever could.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Country<\/em> has been well received in the press with a feature article in the New York Times <\/em>and an interview on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.<\/em><\/h5>\n

In Country corrals the often incomprehensibly distant issue of America’s wars in the Middle East by focusing on the intensely personal post tour-of-duty experiences of individual soldiers – conveyed visually through the fabrication of highly conceptualized domestic scenes that are at once familiar and yet jarring.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

A mix of styles and influences, Karady’s images reflect elements of photojournalism and narrative tableau painting and through this she manages to create a positive experience for the soldiers to aid in their adjustment back to civilian life.<\/h5>\n
