A Gardener at midnight : travels in the Holy Land ; from drawings made on the spot by Yabez Al-Kitab : [drafts, inspirational material and original artwork / Peter Lyssiotis]. 2004.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/298699560

An artist's book examining the colonising history of Iraq, the futility of war, religious intolerance and that no one learns from history. Through two narratives, one set in the present and second war in Iraq is written by Lyssiotis - and the second set in the 19th century and the same region is written by a fictional boy Yabez Al-Kitab, i.e. Brian Castro. The images of the region are scratched to look a century old, reminding readers of the past and ruins.

6 pieces : col. ill. ; 21 x 16 cm. - 66 x 47 cm. + 1 videorecording (DVD)
