OVER MY EYES, stories of Iraq is an exhibition presenting the work of six contemporary Iraqi photographers and a photographic archive from the 1970s - 1990s. Through the eyes of a young generation of local photographers the project presents less frequently captured fragments of reality that constitute daily life in the country: from the vastness of the northern mountainous borders, to a range of different situations across the country with the fading flashback of its recent history and the consequences of the ongoing conflict. -- http://darstprojects.com/over-my-eyes-storie-of-iraq
