Joël van Houdt – Afghanistanism

Dutch independent photojournalist Joël van Houdt’s has released his first book Afghanistanism, which brings together images made in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2022. Rather than repeating familiar media clichés, the book reflects on the complexities of looking at Afghanistan as an outsider and on the limits of foreign reportage itself. Van Houdt traces the consequences of war and foreign intervention, while also paying attention to the quieter, more surreal and deeply human realities of everyday life. Signed copies available!


“The book is my attempt to wrestle with the complexities of being a foreigner reporting from Afghanistan. I want to situate my work within the longer history of outsiders who have come to Afghanistan over the past few centuries. It’s also about the ethical and practical limitations of that position—what we see, what we miss, and what we choose to show.” – Joël van Houdt
