٠٠:٠٣:٢٨German filmmaker Wim Wenders opened his exhibition ‘Photographing Ground Zero’ at the Imperial War Museum in London on Friday, one day ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Wenders captured emergency crews sorting through the wreckage of the Twin Towers two months after their destruction during the attacks.
He was one of very few photographers and documentarians who were allowed to access Ground Zero.
“I was pretty terrified about what I saw, and for the next few weeks, I was traumatized, and these images I have seen in bed in my dreams,” said Wenders.
The showcase is part of the museum’s larger ‘9/11 Twenty Years On’ exhibition, which will run until January 9 and is free to visit.
