The Wordless Book and Other Deserts
Canada’s role in the Middle East conflicts – ambiguous, are we peacekeeping, peacemaking or peace-building? Ball accepted a volunteer post in the Canadian forces Artist Program with a mission to witness and document the working lives of Canadians serving in the armed forces in El Gorah. The images reflect and record the way in which contemporary military strategy has moved away from traditional forms of military engagement, and illustrate the increasing significance of new communication technologies and social labor in military operations.
