Pages from a book produced in Nazi Germany are the source material for the work, but the manner in which Salloum has treated them renders them less recognizable and disrupts their original message. The work exploits and exaggerates the fragmentary character of photography in order "to challenge the idea that the medium is an accurate documentation of a particular place at a specific time, depicting a singular truth about its subject matter. Jayce Salloum has been working in installation, photography, mixed and new media and video since 1975, as well as curating exhibitions, conducting workshops and coordinating cultural events. After 22 years living and working in San Francisco, Banff, Toronto, San Diego, Beirut, and New York, he now lives/works out of Vancouver. His work takes place in a variety of contexts critically engaging itself in the representation of cultural/social/political manifestations and other cultures. OCLC lists one copy of this work at the Berlin State Museum Art Library. 62 - 8.5"x11" pages, bound in printed mylar. Very nice condition.
