He let them decide what he should witness as he attempted to understand the region, reconnect with his heritage and reconcile his preconceptions with realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2011, Pongo travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo to photograph the country's general election and its impact on society. He soon became aware that, as a European educated photographer he could neither define which stories mattered nor were they his to tell. As his awareness of this increased, he came to terms with the limits of photography to show \u003ci\u003e'the truth'\u003c\/i\u003e as well as his own limitations in accessing and understanding the environment, bias, and stereotypes. The project evolved into the photographs which form his first book \u003ci\u003eThe Uncanny.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L駮nard Pongo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910401722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910401729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gost Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.40w x 0.90d","brand":"L駮nard Pongo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169817293055,"sku":"9781910401729","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476493492479,"sku":"9781910401729","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_736097e1-d78b-4ed6-8853-0c5ea1bdccc1.jpg?v=1689655092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-uncanny-lonard-pongo-9781910401729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
