Lumpen Orientalism gathers the fragments of a lost civilization, the decaying parts of a breathing animal _ the Middle East. Named after a term suggested by China Miéville, Lumpen Orientalism captures an anomalous fascination with the Middle East and Asia in a similar way to the mongrel visions of Gilles Deleuze, H. P. Lovecraft, Gaëtan Clérambault and William Beckford in order to tackle this enigmatic monstrosity.

Could you add more info abot the time and place which these photos are taken please? I ask this because I study Persian chivalry (fotovvat), and its connection to architecture.
Thank you.
These images were taken recently at the Vakil Mosque in Shiraz, Iran near the bazaar.
Thank you so much Kristen.
