Pictures showing the inside of Saddam Hussein's palaces now



Quote:
In the Spring of 2009, the photographer Richard Mosse traveled to Iraq, where he captured arresting images of U.S. soldiers working and living in what used to be palaces of Saddam Hussein. These visions of western soldiers at rest in imperial palaces are both intensely jarring and oddly playful, and they underscore the seemingly ineffable experience of downtime during a military occupation. The transformation of an imperial palace into a site of temporary housing also speaks to the notion that our histories are constantly being rewritten—architecturally, sociologically, globally, and locally.

What follows is a selection from Richard Mosse's "Breach."
































Quote:
To learn more about this fantastic series, we recommend reading Mosse's interview with BLDGBLOG from earlier this year.

Are you a photographer with a project you would like to share with the GOOD community? Send a brief description and a few sample images (or a link) to photo [at] goodinc [dot] com, and we’ll take a look. If we like it, it might end up as one of our Picture Shows. We look forward to your submissions.

I wonder what happen to all of Saddam's loot and if most of it is still hidden somewhere in Iraq or even outside of the country.
