Twenty years ago, Moises Saman was working in Iraq as a photojournalist during the US-led invasion and occupation. Glad Tidings of Benevolence combines his photographs taken during this period and the following years with disparate documentation and texts.

'My photographs are not meant to represent an objective account of the Iraq war against which to compare the textual references.
