Overview
Innovatively designed with 20 double gatefold images that unfold to configure the four walls of each individual's home, "The Places We Live" tells the story of the denizens within with unusual humanity. Through its inventive design and experiential approach, "The Places We Live" brings the modern-day Dickensian reality of these individuals into sharp focus.
This volume includes an introduction by American author and journalist Philip Gourevitch, editor of "The Paris Review" and author of "Standard Operating Procedure" and "We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda." An accompanying exhibition will open at the Nobel Peace Center, Oslo in the summer of 2008, and then tour worldwide.
