A life is not a straight line; it does not conform to an easy narrative. Christopher Anderson’s career has spanned conflict zones, presidential campaigns, near-death experiences, and moments of quiet domestic tenderness, all captured with a rare poetic sensibility.
His new publication INDEX brings together 11 series from across his career, each presented as an individual volume.
From his early images in Afghanistan, where he was already working as a journalist after 9/11 and continued documenting events throughout the second Gulf War, to Haiti, where he boarded a wooden boat with hopeful migrants bound for America before it began to sink—a story that earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal.
The collection also explores the places he has called home, such as France and New York, and the places that have left a lasting impression on him, such as China. Alongside these, Anderson presents intimate family moments from holidays, immersive accounts of conflict in some of the world’s most troubled regions, and even his fascination with cars.
Designed as 11 volumes housed in a slipcase by acclaimed artist Brian Roettinger, INDEX offers a powerful way to experience the defining events and fleeting intimacies that shaped the first decades of the millennium.
