Description
Al-Mutanabbi Street, in Baghdad, Iraq, is the historic center of bookselling in that city. In May 2007, a car bomb killed more than 30 people and destroyed many bookstalls. This book consists of fifteen two-sided loose-leaf prints made from collages constructed from remnants of found books, rubbings from book bindings and photographs. The leaves are gathered into a tar paper folder.
