Monument For The Living

Marwan Rechmaoui's Monument For The Living is a scale model of an unfinished office tower in Beirut, Lebanon.  The outbreak of civil war has made it impossible to finish the building   As a result, the building has only been used as a sniper outpost. Now it stands as a memorial to conflicts that have never been resolved.
