My Neck Is Thinner Than A Hair

My Neck Is Thinner Than A Hair by The Atlas Group /Walid Raad (Libanon/USA). This work is part of an ongoing investigation by The Atlas Group into the events and experiences surrounding the use of car bombs in the 1975-1991 Lebanese wars. The Atlas Group examines the multiple dimensions - social, political, economic, military, technological, psychological and epistemic - of the wars and investigates the public and private discourses surrounding the 245 car bombs that were detonated during this period.
