Photographer Nikita Teryoshin explores the secretive world of the global arms trade by visiting 16 arms fairs worldwide between 2016 and 2023. The book provides a behind-the-scenes look at these exclusive defense expositions, typically closed to the public, in an effort to reveal the processes and environments preceding warfare. By documenting these events across various continents, Teryoshin underscores the expansive and international scope of the arms industry against the backdrop of increasing global military spending and pervasive media imagery of conflict.
