Sweden, 2005
ISBN: 9163168197
A catalogue documenting the joint work of artist couple Maha Mustafa and Ibrahim Rashid, the second in a trio of collaborative exhibition projects, with essays by Dan Jönsson and Clemens Altgård. Jönsson's essay, "Checkpoint: El Aleph," reads Mustafa's light-based installations and Rashid's paintings and video work through ideas of survey, exile, and a fragmented, postmodern sense of time, framing "Checkpoint X" as a series of provisional vantage points from which the couple's Iraqi past and Swedish present intersect.
