"The Graves: Srebrenica and Vukovar" is a collaborative work by French photographer Gilles Peress (1946–) and human rights researcher Eric Stover. Peress, a member of Magnum Photos, has covered the Northern Ireland conflict, the Rwandan genocide, and the Yugoslav Wars for extended periods, continuously using photography to question the traces and memories left behind by war. This book is compiled as a record of the excavation of mass graves against the backdrop of the Srebrenica genocide and the Vukovar incident, which occurred during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Peress's photographs quietly observe the physical evidence—excavation sites, artifacts, and fragments of clothing—and rather than directly depicting the scenes of violence, they highlight the weight of history through the places where traces of war crimes remain. When juxtaposed with Stover's text, which recounts the process of forensic investigation, the photographs transcend mere reporting and pose profound questions to the reader as testimonies about lost lives.
