Description:
Book containing 29 photographs of bombing during Lebanon war, taken between April 10, 2002 and August 8, 2006. The date and place of the bombing are shown each time in tiny letters in the lower right of the pages. The height of the letters corresponds to the size of a standing man, thus giving the scale of the explosion. Inside the folder, an original photograph, printed by Franck Bordas and titled "Sidon_August 6, 2006" is included and corresponds to one of the 29 bombings illustrated in the book.
