Book - Stranger 

Olivia Arthur 

Stranger, a new project by photographer Olivia Arthur, imagines a survivor returning to Dubai fifty years later, and what they would see. Through photographs and small anecdotes, the viewer is taken on a journey through a city that is both awe-inspiring and alienating. A city which has grown at breath-taking pace from a population of 90,000 in the 1960s to over 2 million in the current day, and continues to draw people from all over the world with its promise of riches.
