Title:
The peripheries of the city of Kabul, especially to the north and east are endless building sites. Since most of the documentation concerning land title was lost during the war, much of this speculative and illegal construction is concerned more with establishing undisputable ‘facts on the ground’. Apartments and shops are, almost exclusively, unoccupied. Photographer(s): Norfolk, Simon (1963–)
Scope & Content:

Stamped in black ink, verso, lower right: Burke + Norfolk / Photographs from the war in Afghanistan by John Burke and Simon Norfolk / Printed by Simon Norfolk, September 2011 / An archival, digital, chromogenic print on Fujicolor Crystal Archive / Photograph by...
