Hannes Jung's 'Men Don't Cry' Examines Sexualized Violence in Bosnian War
Hannes Jung's exhibition 'Men don't cry' at Haus am Kleistpark in Berlin presents black-and-white photographs from 2017 to 2024 documenting the lasting trauma of sexualized violence against men during the Bosnian War (1992–1995). Jung's work combines documentary research with poetic imagery to explore how violence inscribes itself into individual and collective identities, focusing on a taboo subject: the torture, abuse, and forced violence among men in camps and prisons during the conflict.
