Description from the seller
Once payment is made, I must ship the item within three days.
I cannot hold and combine outside of those parameters.
I will do my best to combine the orders within that timeframe. I can ONLY SHIP TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED ON CATAWIKI. If you have two addresses, please manage your address before buying. If your book is returned because you did not pick it up, we expect you to pay for the return postage. We put your phone in the package, so there should be only a rare reason it cannot be delivered.
All this aside, I very much appreciate selling you books from my collection and hope they find a good home.
Violence, calamity and the absurdity of war are recorded extensively within The Archive of Modern Conflict, the largest photographic collection of its kind in the world. For their most recent work, Holy Bible , Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin mined this archive with philosopher Adi Ophir's central tenet in mind: that God reveals himself predominantly through catastrophe and that power structures within the Bible correlate with those within modern systems of governance.
The format of Broomberg and Chanarin's illustrated Holy Bible mimics both the precise structure and the physical form of the King James Version. By allowing elements of the original text to guide their image selection, the artists explore themes of authorship, and the unspoken criteria used to determine acceptable evidence of conflict.
Inspired in part by the annotations and images Bertolt Brecht added to his own personal Bible, Broomberg and Chanarin's publication questions the clichés at play within the visual representation of conflict.
