Two cans of paint and coating, produced by the Italian chemical company, Industrie Vernici Italiane ("Italian Paint Industry") stylized as I.V.I, that specialized in the production of paints. Starting 1983, I.V.I, then-majoritarily owned by Fiat, was gradually sold to the American multinational company, PPG Industries Inc. The selling of the entire shares was effectuated in 1992. Following a lawsuit filed by American environmental organizations, Penn Environment and Sierra Club, in 2012, PPG Industries, Inc. was found liable in 2018 for decades of pollutants discharge in the Allegheny River. Read more on: https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/usa-court-finds-paint-manufacturer-ppg-liable-for-pollution-posing-risk-to-health-environment-in-lawsuit-over-chemicals-spill/. These cans ended up on Lebanese territories due the toxic waste deal between the Italian Mafia and the Lebanese Forces. The author of this image is unspecified.

Silver barrels of "Alkydal F 22 tix" with a ratio of 60% Xylol (according to the label). It was produced in Germany by the German multinational and pharmaceutical company, Bayer. Alkyd resins are used in the formulation of wood and furniture coatings, parquet and floor coatings, exterior wood coatings, DIY and painter coatings as well as industrial coatings. We couldn’t find more information around the sources, and whether they were related to the Italian toxic waste trade brought to Lebanon through a deal between the Italian mafia and Lebanese Forces. The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

ميكس غير منمق ومضمونه غير موسيقي، يحاول استنباط لحظات في عتمة داكنة تلاشت فيها الأشكال وتلاحم معها جسدي وعبرنا الى عالم يقظ اسفله لا يرى إلا باليدين واعمدته تتكلّم فقط لكي تحتبس. للعالم إيقاع خاص متقطع ذو نقرات بليدة أحياناً ومتشنجة أحياناً أخرى. للترحال فيه يجب تلفيق رقصة زاحفة خاصة يقودها العامود الفقري وانقباضات في المعدة.

According to the label, this barrel contained diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), a light yellow-colored solid. It is not soluble in water. It may be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption; acute (short-term) inhalation of high concentrations of MDI may cause sensitization and asthma in humans. If in a solution it may or may not burn depending on the nature of the material and/or the solvent. It is used to produce polyurethane foams. The next picture (probably of the front label) indicates that the content of the barrel is related to polyurethanes, produced by the British chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). The barrel may be related to the toxic waste deal between the Italian mafia and the Lebanese Forces through its Italian division, Atlas Europol s.p.A. From 1982 till 1987, the chairman of the company was Sir John Harvey-Jones, a British naval commander during World War II and a naval intelligence specialist post-World War II, whose approach to the chemical business was focused on speed, more power into fewer hands, and high profit. The barrel is rusted and has seashells growing on it, signs that it was submerged in seawater for a certain period of time. The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.
