\u201cThe photobook is presented beyond its classic definition<\/em>,\u201d says Ro\u00ef Saade, artist, photographer, designer and curator of the exhibition<\/strong>. \u201cThrough a selection of over 30 documentary photography books, diaries, academic research, essays, archival images, sketches and more, Bound Narratives emphasizes the importance of sharing the myriad perspectives of local and diasporic communities, the power of storytelling subversive and self-representation. A project that invites the viewer to expand their knowledge and discover wide-ranging narratives from countries such as Tunisia, Algeria, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia. An exhibition that aims to create communication channels between creatives and professionals in the sector and book enthusiasts, with the desire to improve public access to photography books. Finally, in a world driven by technology and uncertainty, Bound Narratives wants to promote the great value of the printed book.<\/em>“<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Among the books on display, a specific focus is dedicated to 5 photobooks and their authors, chosen because they are linked to the theme “An Abstract of Home<\/em><\/strong>” of Middle East Now 2022<\/strong>. The selection includes Disquiet Days<\/strong>, which recounts the photographer’s 11 years of investigation Bruno Boudjelal<\/strong> on his origins, his identity and his unknown family in Algeria. Abandoned Dwellings: A History of Beirut<\/em> in which Gregory Buchakjian<\/strong> embarks on an extraordinary artistic research project on the abandoned houses of the Lebanese capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desert of Pharan<\/em> by Ahmed Mater<\/strong>, one of the most celebrated Saudi artists and photographers, which traces the origins of the city of Mecca and the hidden stories behind its most recent transformation. Zanjir<\/strong>, an imagined conversation between the Iranian artist Amak Mahmoodian<\/strong> and the Persian princess and writer of memoirs Taj Saltaneh<\/strong>. And then again Hello Future<\/em>, a summa of the photographic, performative and cinematographic practice of the famous Emirati artist Farah Al Qasimi<\/strong>, in which through a great attention to colorful surfaces and vivid textures he wants to bring out the postcolonial structures of power, gender and influence aesthetics in the Gulf countries, investigating the cultural effects of globalization and migration in general.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
