[Paris], published with the support of the Association Francaise d'Action Artistique, Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, [1994].
In July 1991, Ristelhueber travelled to the Balkans with writer Jean Rolin when the Yugoslav Wars were beginning. Two years later, and after much thought, she started work on Every One, for which she photographed post-surgical scars in a Parisian hospital, looking for shapes of stitches, cuts and wounds that would speak clearly about the conflict in the Balkans. This artists book was issued in French and English versions to accompany exhibitions at the Centraal Museum of Utrecht (25 March - 12 June 1994) and at the Arlogos Gallery in Nantes (5 November - 17 December 1994).
