Scope and Contents
This book was a gift to the Sackners from Rachid when they vistied his studio with their grandson Albert Behar, who also served as their translator. The volume traces the ancient Koraichi family ancestors from the eighth century in Algiers and evoked the illustrated work for the tapestries for the installation. Explainations are given for the symbolism of each tapistry. The book also depicts photographs of the surroundings of the workshops, the artisians and ancient architectural found elements. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
