BookSigning | F.A.I.L : Forbidden And Imaginary Love | by Christine CHOUEIRI
Synopsis: This book is not the story of a specific couple, it is a conversation between two people falling in love with one another while they shouldn't have. It started with "I love you", and then words started to rush into my head. Things might have been real or not it doesn't matter, what matters is that I wanted to put in words every forbidden emotion - or not - felt. It's about love, about age, about desire, about fantasies and taboos.
Opening Exhibition | Jeux Thèmes | by photographer Richard SAMMOUR
Axe du monde
Richard Sammour studied cinematography, a discipline that shaped his passion for light and exposure in photography. His winning first prize in a photographic competition in university was a turning point in his career as a photographer. Working for a variety of publications, he concentrated on conceptual photography in his artistic practice. His creative process incorporates manipulation and Photoshop with many layers; he maintains that this is the expression of how he sees the world, through a different, maybe slightly dark, vision. Through the usage of a variety of symbols, such as tree, phalluses, stars, birds, Sammour wishes to bring the audience beyond the surface of his images, to a deeper understanding of its imagery and metaphors.
