"Execution Squares" by Hrair Sarkissian
From the exhibition catalog: "Hrair Sarkissian's series Execution Squares depicts public execution squares in three Syrian cities -- Aleppo, Lattakia, and Damascus. Taking in the early morning hours, the time the executions usually take plae, the quiet images reveal a fragile paradox that exists between the beauty and constancy of the physical environment and the political and social realities that they obscure."
(The installation consisted of 12 Lambada prints mounted on aluminum; work is dated 2008.)
