Tabarja Beach 1

Tabarja Beach 1 (2008)
110 x 80 cm
Edition of 5

This is a series of photographs that reenact adolescent moments in the same location where they first occurred. With the help of photographer Dalia Khamissy, we restaged the photos at the beginning of the winter, when the resort was empty.

Located on the north coast of Lebanon, the Tarbarja Beach resort had an atmosphere of summer lounging that was almost never interrupted by the war. Chit chatting around the swimming pool, playing badminton or listening to my Walkman during the day while at night, I would go to club inside the resort where the story of my first love took place.

The series was exhibited at the Beirut Art Center in 2009, in the frame of Exposure.
