London-based artists Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin have carefully overlaid images from The Archive of Modern Conflict onto each page of the Bible, images they believe are representative of the horror and madness of global catastrophes we have become numb to, due to the filtration of those images by mainstream media.

Broomberg and Chanarin are no strangers to these themes. Trained photographers, the pair explored ideas of passively accepted media and state censorship in War Primer 2, a 2012 book that has been nominated for this year's Deutsche Borse photography prize. To create it, they took 100 copies of Bertolt Brecht's War Primer (1955), in which the German poet and playwright featured images of war alongside poems describing the truth behind the scene, and replaced those images with modern counterparts. This latest project is, however, the first time they've had to get permission from the Queen -- albeit indirectly -- to reprint a text (it's owned by the head of state).

Associated Press image of a statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled became synonymous with the "victory" of the Iraq war in 2003, for instance. It was shown to the world as an example of speedy triumph, a triumph that of course would be shown to be far less black and white. "Brecht was deeply concerned about the use of photographs in newspapers, something that was relatively new at the time," said Chanarin. "He was so suspicious of press images that he referred to them as hieroglyphics in need of deciphering or decoding. We share this concern, in fact now more than ever, images of conflict that are distributed in the mainstream media are even less able to affect any real political action."

Using the Bible to reflect this disparity seemed like an obvious choice. Anyone even vaguely familiar with the Old Testament would recognise the vengeful God in some of the images pasted across the passages -- "we constantly witness death [in the Old Testament] on an epic scale and the victims hardly ever know what they have done to deserve such retribution," says Chanarin.

Moreover, just as there is a disparity in our interpretation of war -- driven so often by a disparity in the images we are being shown, and the tales we are being told, with the realities of war -- there is a disparity in how this vengeance is interpreted. For example, for the whole of Earth, its people and animals, through Genesis chapters six to nine, God was filled with fury and retribution -- as proven when he wiped them off the face of the planet. For Noah, apparently the only "righteous man" on that planet, God was a just saviour, recognising he was "blameless among the people of his time".

Choosing which images to overlay on the text and translate these complex messages was an arduous and grim process. "Our days at the archive, sifting through all this material was difficult," says Chanarin. "So many dead people's faces. It's depressing. But somehow we discovered a lot of humour too."

The Brechtian reminder is a nod to a theatrical tool devised by the playwright known as the "alienating effect". It involves a series of techniques such as exposing the ropes and lights behind the stage design or having an actor turn to the audience to explain their drive. In this way, the audience is reminded throughout that what they're seeing is theatre, and limits their emotional attachment. In the Holy Bible[/i], this is represented through images of acrobatic stunts, card games, dog tricks or magicians performing daring acts. It's telling us the Bible is not representative of reality, but may also be telling us that the history of warfare being told by Broomberg and Chanarin is not reality either, but a partial truth and a slither of the whole truth.

Broomberg and Chanarin's Holy Bible is in itself a versuche, with "lots of room for interpretation". The narrative, Chanarin says, is "is not at all a straightforward account of war". Rather, "it's an extremely personal and very idiosyncratic one; an unofficial version of the history of war". Hence, some of the images directly relate to lines of text that are underscored in red to highlight them: "their infants shall be dashed in pieces", from Deuteronomy, is paired with an image of a Jewish couple wearing Stars of David, holding their child, while "he shall destroy wonderfully" in Daniel, sits alongside an image of a missile. "Some times the words and the images relate to each other in a very direct and descriptive way. Other times it's more oblique. We wanted to show that this was just an attempt, a series of notes, rather than anything complete or authoritative."

This was somewhat driven by what the pair uncovered at The Archive of Modern Conflict. Among the harrowing images, they came across a shelf full of albums of personal photographs belonging to Nazi soldiers.

These images run counter to the narrative we're used to. We're not used to seeing Nazi's displaying human traits; showing tenderness, emotion, desire."

The retelling of history, and all its subjective twists and turns, is portrayed in equally discombobulated fashion through Broomberg and Chanarin's reimagining of the ancient text, with images of pinups and corpses interspersed incongruously with family snapshots of Halloween night and circus acts. It is as mind boggling as a literal reading of the Bible might be or, perhaps, belief in one-sided monologues of what modern warfare is. "Why shy away from these images?" asks Chanarin, speaking about a few particular gruesome ones Wired.co.uk pointed out, including what looks like the dismembered head of a suicide bomber sitting, bloodied on the street. "They exist even if we don't like to look at them. The artist Thomas Hirschhorn has argued that images of destroyed bodies need to be looked at. It is our duty to look at them. We see the inclusion of these types of images in our Bible as an antidote to the way in which mainstream media is horribly controlled and sanitised."

Violence, calamity and the absurdity of war are recorded extensively within The Archive of Modern Conflict, the largest photographic collection of its kind in the world. For their most recent work, Holy Bible, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin mined this archive with philosopher Adi Ophir's central tenet in mind: that God reveals himself predominantly through catastrophe and that power structures within the Bible correlate with those within modern systems of governance. The format of Broomberg and Chanarin's illustrated Holy Bible mimics both the precise structure and the physical form of the King James Version. By allowing elements of the original text to guide their image selection, the artists explore themes of authorship, and the unspoken criteria used to determine acceptable evidence of conflict. Inspired in part by the annotations and images Bertolt Brecht added to his own personal bible, Broomberg and Chanarin's publication questions the clichs at play within the visual representation of conflict.

The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, all her wages shall be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay waste, for from the fee of a prostitute she gathered them, and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.

And his prayer, and how God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.

Scholarly study of the Bible flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Advances in transportation, publishing, photography, archeology, paleography, numismatics, and many other domains synergized to make the geography and historical background of Bible events more accessible to scholars and to the Christian public. This careful study inevitably produced drawings and photographs of coins, archeological sites and artifacts, ancient inscriptions, places where Bible events occurred, and a wide array of other biblical subjects. Logos Bible Images gathers pertinent Images from seven public domain books published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and offers these images to you, reintroducing the graphic work of an earlier generation of scholars and artists to twenty-first century Bible lovers. At Logos, we believe images help you study the Bible with your whole brain, not just the verbal part.

If you are focused on traditional bible images, you may still want to further specify the context. For instance, are you using these pictures for a Christmas or Easter event? Or are there other religious symbols that you may want to consider, such as cross images? e24fc04721
