Monica Haller: Riley and His Story, Me and My Outrage, You and Us

Fine paperback with a touch of rubbing at the edges, otherwise, as new. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. "Monica Haller's project Riley and His Story presents the daily life of the Iraq war, as lived and photographed by Riley Sharbonno, an army nurse who served at Abu Ghraib prison from 2004-2005. Riley used his camera as an almost prosthetic device to record the events his memory suppressed; on other occasions he used the camera to 'store' overwhelming experiences with the aim of processing them later. Many of these images are indeed overwhelming and the photo pages in this book are variously sized, creating intersection and overlap to mimic the unstable nature of such memories and convey the blurry jumble of amnesia and trauma." The book won an award of excellence at the 2009 London Artists Book Fair. Photographs and text by Riley Sharbonno; additional photographs by Parker Hahn; conceived and edited by Monica Haller with an introduction (printed on the front cover.) "Second edition" (first paperback edition.) 480 pages; color plates throughout; 6.25 x 8.75 inches. Text in English.…
