Syria Al-Assad

Syria Al-Assad is a drive-by typology of monuments and billboards erected to the greater honor of the Assad family, which has ruled Syria since 1971.
The photos themselves are deliberately devoid of  political statements, in contrast to the design of the book. All the photos are on the right-hand page and each page has perforations, so it can be torn out. As a result the book resembles a tear-off calendar; text and image can be separated, images eliminated and the sequence adjusted.
The pictures show the dummy version of 2012.
