9-11 / 9-11 : A Tale of Two Cities / A Tragedy of Two Times

description

Graphic novel rendered by Ignacio Morales–—a pseudonym for Mel Chin—about two disasters: the September 11, 1973 attack on La Moneda Presidential Palace in Santiago, Chile and the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States. Adapted to an animation of the same name by Mel Chin and reprinted in 2008. "9-11/9-11 original graphic novella drawings were done in 2002, a year after the World Trade Center attacks. Chin created the drawings in a 96-hour session, printed a thousand copies (penned under the name Ignacio Morales), and distributed the publication in the streets of New York for free on 9/11/2002. These drawings, framed under thick glass and stainless steel that echo the architecture of the towers, served as the basis of the film 9-11/9-11." -- from artist's website.
