الزرافة المحترقة

By Architect Imad Darouich

A reading of Salvador Dalí's The Burning Giraffe (1937) in fifteen parts: the body as a secret map, the drawers of memory, the burning giraffe, bones as columns, the masked face, the crutches and the smell of burning. The author sees in it a biography of war, and Damascus burning yet still standing.
