These photographs were made before Griffiths received any formal training in photography and document his experience of soldiering towards the end of the 'Troubles'. Raw snapshots made for his own personal album, but powerfully evoking the boredom, frustration and fear felt by the group of very young men he served alongside.

Kevin Kunishi: Los Restos de la Revolucion Launch and Exhibition at Rayko Photo Center 

October 3, 2012

Twenty years after the Nicaraguan civil way ended, Kevin Kunishi traveled throughout the highlands of Northern Nicarague. Kunishi revisits the location in an attempt to discover and document the legacy that this protracted war left behind. A selection of the resulting portraits of survivors, both Sandinistas and Contras, as well as exquisite landscapes are gathered together here in Kunishi's first monograph.

The photographs within Los Restos are notational records of the experience of the collective memory of those involved. Although philosophies, the survivors are now bound by a landscape filled with physical and psychological scars. The markers of affiliation are slowly fading, but the horros of war remain.

The exhibition will be on view from October 11-November 11, 2012

The opening and book signing will take place on October 11 from 6-8PM

Rayko Photo Center:

428 3rd Street San Francisco, CA 94107
