The series of prints ‘The end of…’ are all «mental images» made of photo-montages or single images transformed. I used images from Super 8, video and written notes assembled over years. They are reminiscences of a history with gaps. The process of memory, through the recording of traces as well as erasing and diverting, is visible on the physical texture of the images. Images from archives diverted from their origin and recreated in other geographies, images disappearing. Images-fragments, words bursting out, taking on a new meaning. Though they represent post-wars landscapes and specific places in Lebanon, the non-realistic, poetic imagery of the series ‘The end of…’, with an emphasis on images vanishing, is a mean to reflect on violence, loss and disillusion. There are not mere beautiful landscapes but hold, underlying within them, the experience of tensions and conflicts. Rather than engaging in any political statement they express a sense of despair and disillusion critical of all ideologies.
