Every copy is unique: it is composed of seventeen booklets, fifteen of which are randomly bound. Published in an edition of 700 copies, each cover features a different excerpt from the video work Mnemonics of Shape and Reason (2021).

Proof is a printed visual archive composed of video screenshots from ISIS propaganda films, captured directly from the Internet. It shows how, since 2014, cultural history was physically destroyed by special units ‘Kata’ib Taswiya’. Proof is a documentation of the last moments of those sculptures and monuments, during and just after their collapse and destructions. Technically the book operates like a pictorial cheque book and its pages are pre-cuted, allowing the readers to tear the pages if they want to.
