Many of Larry Towell’s projects revolve around the
theme of landlessness, and the effect this state
has on people’s lives, as evidenced in his previous
projects including The Mennonites and El Salvador.
Towell is the only Canadian member of the
renowned Magnum Photo Agency. In 2003, he
received the inaugural Henri Cartier-Bresson
Award for his project photographing in the West
Bank and Gaza, which was the genesis for No
Man’s Land. Towell’s photographs show an
immense understanding of human suffering and
passionately portray the struggles of Palestinian’s
and their hope for the future. An exhibition of this
work was mounted at the Cartier-Bresson
Foundation in Paris in April, 2005, and is published
as a monograph by Chris Boot / The Archive of
Modern Conflict.
