Oliver Hartung reiste zwischen 2007 - 2009 in den Mittleren Osten und fotografierte in Syrien Schilder und Denkmäler, die zu Ehren des seit 1971 herrschenden Regimes Assad errichtet wurden. Sein Buch "Syria al-Assad" ist eine lose Typologie von jenen einst allgegenwärtigen Objekten regimetreuer Propaganda, die in der Bevölkerung geliebt und gehasst waren, und die die visuelle Kultur in Syrien stark bestimmten. Jene Schilder, die Oliver Hartung meist aus einem fahrenden Auto heraus aufnahm, befinden sich heute in den Kampfgebieten und existieren so vermutlich nicht mehr. In seinem Buch erscheinen alle Fotos auf der rechten Seite, die perforiert ist und die man wie bei einem Abrisskalender heraustrennen kann. Bild und Text können so separat betrachtet, gelesen und wieder neu zusammengesetzt werden. Die arabischen Inschriften der Schilder sind ins Englische übersetzt.

GENERAL is an artist's book by Marisa Cornejo-Kasterine linked to her exhibition project «El Milagro chileno» (the chilean miracle). It serves as a a warning about the difficult reality of contemporary Chilean life (lack of basic human rights and social degradation), and demonstrates the daily struggle needed for survival in a free market economy, forced on the society since the mid seventies. GENERAL is a collection of documents from dismissal letters, medical and educational bills, denied requests, to marked passports and judicial charges, etc. all bearing witness to the cost of the Chilean Miracle, a policy that is still in place today. Apart from the documents the book also includes a series of portraits of those who were interviewed for this project and texts with personal stories, all of which come together to construct a local memory archive. GENERAL is also a reflection on being uprooted, focusing on such topics as: exoneration, prison, compulsory migration and exile; it is also an exercise in creating collective memory based mainly on life testimonies separate from any single institution.
