Traditionally considered to be a postmodern city, Dubai is actually a confrontation between two ways of life. The most densely populated part of the city lives in what could be considered a “modern” architecture and society.

One of the funeral rites commonly practiced in Tibet is the Sky Burial, an ancient tradition that reveals a profound respect for nature and understanding of life. The Sky Burial ritual is known "jha-tor", which means the giving of alms to birds. The bodies of the dead are offered to vultures in a gesture of kindness towards living beings... a final act of generosity. We witness this funeral ritual from the Drigung Monastery in northern Tibet. To the Tibetans, merging with the sky after death is a holy event that replaces the sufferings of this world with peace.

The Job has been put together from over six hours of archival material shot in the offensive against the city of Fallujah, Iraq. The footage was originally recorded by a journalist embedded with American assault troops, who were the only ones authorised to record images or approach the area before, during and after the fighting. Years later, the journalist posted the unedited footage on a temporary web site, adding a classical music soundtrack, as an “Iraqi souvenir” for the marines who participated in the attack: “to all the marines of kilo 3/5. Nick and Geoff send their thanks for all your acts of kindness and generosity…” This footage was captured online by Jean Pierre Gambarotta and Perro Loco from Caracas Libertaria, and edited by Abu Ali.
