Entry Description

OVER MY EYES offers an unfamiliar perspective of Iraq, a country we know only through western made images of war, fed to us by mainstream media. Through the eyes of a 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.
