About
Simon Norfolk has photographed sites of genocide. The names ring like a death toll for the twentieth century – Rwanda, Cambodia, Vietnam, Auschwitz, Dresden, Ukraine, Armenia, Namibia ... Charged with emotional intensity Norfolk's photographs document the human traces left behind: a tooth Iying in a field, or the worn steps of a death camp.
'It is a commonly held belief, although a myth nonetheless, that the birds refuse to sing amongst the remains of the death camp at Auschwitz; but it is certainly one of the quietest places on God's earth. Perhaps this is because it is somewhere from which He turned and walked away.'
