Editing New Work from Beirut

I have been editing new photographs taken in Beirut last December exploring sites of violence and sites of memory to possibly add to photo-text series 'The City that Exploded Slowly'.

This work is about reading the city as being in a constant process of erosion and dissolution which renders it full of gaps and a past erased by a tide of amnesia. On many of my return trips, travelling by car, I formed new maps in my mind: black violet stains would mark the spots where extreme violence has occurred along the mouth of the river, on secluded sites by the shore..
