This Project aims to revive and document the beautiful art and culture of Mesopotamia, which is modern day Iraq. This is achieved through spaces that symbolize and carry certain ideologies, events and feelings associated with different time periods. The project aims to explore the theory of deconstruction that was best depicted in James Joyce’s novel Ulysses and thoroughly investigated by the philosopher Jacques Derrida. The project highlights the following four aspects of the theory: 1. There is an origin without which nothing can exist 2. Nothing can have meaning or value without its opposite 3. History consists of an infinite cycle of ups and downs 4. All boundaries are blurred, for example the boundaries between interior and exterior space
