The Knowledge of the World, by Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, explores an encyclopedic variety of themes including mathematics, African history, linguistics, advertising, sex, religion, and world politics. The drawings, presented as a boxed set, lie somewhere between the mystical griot traditions of Africa and the diaristic, self-reflective, and archival traditions of the Western world. From 1958 onward, Bouabré kept journals and created drawings that helped him organize the relationships between the spiritual, physical, and linguistic worlds he experienced. In the 1970s, he began to produce postcard-sized drawings on cardboard with ball point pen and colored pencils. In 1998 he published the set through Nexus Press.

Mine Fields (a sequel to Bill Burke’s justly famous I Want to Take Pictures), is Burke’s scrapbook of his life and his pursuit of the history and daily life of Cambodia. Part adventure story, part personal confession, part travelogue, and always fascinating, Burke’s negotiation of the mine fields of divorce and war is a compelling collage of photographs, found objects, stories, and the contrast between glorious ancient temples and the horrors of war and genocide.
