Monica Haller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monica M Moses Haller[1] (born 1980) is an American photographer.[2] She produced the book Riley and His Story with Riley Sharbonno and Matt Rexac,[3] part of the Veterans' Book Project which she co-runs,[4][5] both of which are about wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.[3][6] Haller is a 2010 recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Life and work[]

Haller was born in Minneapolis.[2] She has an undergraduate degree in Peace and Conflict Studies and an M.F.A. in Visual Studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and a BA studying Philosophy of Violence and Non-Violence from the College of St. Benedict.[7][8]

Martin Parr and Gerry Badger include Riley and His Story in the third volume of their photobook history, in which they describe it as "more about what the Iraq War did to those involved in it than about the justice of the cause, although its futility — and that of all war — is clearly implied."[9] Riley and His Story is the first volume in a project by Haller, Matthew Rezac and Mark Fox called the Veterans' Book Project. The project involves veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars publishing their stories and photographs, made while on duty, as a form of catharsis.[9][10]
