The Iraqi photographer Hussein Atshan was born between two years after the start of the first Gulf War. He was in Baghdad during the second Gulf War and also the 1991 uprising. When America invaded in 2003 he became both fighter and victim. In the end he fled to Belgium, where he has been living for seven years. His photos showcase military helmets from the First and Second World War. They represent a history of violence and suppression.

Bon Travail presents a number of the works introduced in brouillon in a completely different context: the ‘fixed’ layout of an exhibition.
