AT THE UN (United States, 2005)

War has many faces. In Lebanon and Kosovo, among other places, the Italian photographer Paolo Pellegrin saw what sort of suffering armed conflicts can bring about, but he has also paused to look at the other side of geopolitics. In 2005 he did a series on John Bolton, the hawk and UN criticaster who was appointed as American ambassador to the United Nations by George W. Bush – an appointment that brought down considerable criticism on the then American president’s head.
