In Iran, this tree allegedly bleeds at dawn of every Ashura day in every year(Ashura is an religious event for Shiite muslims, on the 10th of Muharram month in the Islamic Calendar). Some Shiites believe the blood shedding from the tree is a sign that represents Al-Hussein’s(The prophet Mohammad’s grandson) blood, others believe that the tree bleeds for murder of Al-Hussein.

Picture/Readings by Barbara Kruger
The occasional intrusion of a palm or other tropical vegetation provides the only sense of place. Equally detached in its casual typewritten appearance and tone is the accompanying text: Kruger has written a narrative which recounts the incidental urgencies and activities of the buildings‚ and imagined inhabitants.
