Oliver Hartung's remarkable photobook Syria Al-Assad is a document of his travels through the troubled region between 2007 and 2009. Photographing monuments, signs and propaganda loyal to the Assad regime, Hartung forges a typology of state control, manipulation and sentiment. Published by the brilliant Spector Books (Leipzig), this stunningly produced publication features perforated pages, which can be torn out and rearranged.
