Projected image from a film of Lan To Iraq" project.

Hani Al-Dalla Ali, an artist from Iraq, visits Japan for his exhibitions in Tokyo, Sapporo, Hiroshima and Kawagoe.

He was born in 1969 in Iraq, and studied at the Institute on Fine Art, Baghdad. He also went to Warsaw Academy of Fine Art, Poland, with scholarship for preservation and restoration.

He lived in Baghdad until five months ago, when he left for Anman, Jordan, because the situation in the capital of Iraq was far from safe.

His works of art are just stunning. Visit "Lan to Iraq" website to view the images.

It has been raining in Tokyo today (Sunday) and there was a fairly big earthquake in the evening. (Not so big though. Like the ordinary "big" quakes we are quite used to.)

I think 15 October was "ju-san ya (thirteenth night)" when a beautiful almost-full moon is seen, but the weather on Saturday was nasty and we couldn't see it this year.

Spray paint on a half-transparent acrylic board. 2005. Best viewed large.

... The overpass had so many graffitis. With this one, it seems that someone had written the red part, and that someone else later tried to erase it with white. (I'm viewing from the rear side here.)

Taken on the big overpass where other pictures (one of them) are taken.
