Items related to A Lebanese Archive: From The Collection Of Diab Alkarssifi
A chance encounter in a homeless hostel between Polish artist and photographer Ania Dabrowska and Lebanese journalist Diab Alkarssifi led to the discovery of Alkarssifi s collection of 27,000 photographs from Beirut, Damascus and Cairo covering over 100 years of Arab history. Complemented by the journalist s previously unknown personal photographs of everyday life in Beirut, his home city of Baalbeck on the Syrian border, and his student years in the early 1970s in Moscow and Budapest, this treasure trove is an extraordinary record of modern Arab history. Dabrowska designed the book to preserve and re-present to the public a century of cultural and political history in Lebanon and the Middle East. A Lebanese Archive is an electrifying historical record featuring an essay by artist Akram Zaatari and over 100 images from the archive.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Neu. Ania Dabrowska (illustrator). Ania Dabrowska. A Lebanese Archive. From the collection of Diab Alkarssifi. London, Book Works/Beirut, Arab Image Foundation, 2015. 270:210mm. 239S. Durchgehend teilweise farb. illustr. Or.-Brosch. Texte von Ania Dabrowska und Akram Zaatari, "A Lebanese Archive is based on a collection of archival photographs from Lebanon and the Middle East, which came into the hands of Ania Dabrowska, a Polish artist and photogra-pher. It belongs to Diab Alkarssifi, a Lebanese émigré. The images were taken and collected by Al-karssifi over a lifetime: thousands of photographic prints, and negatives, including his numerous photographic assignments, images of everyday life in his home city of Baalbeck on the Syrian border and in Beirut, his student years in the early 1970s in Moscow and Budapest and, his collection of found images from studios in Baalbeck, Beirut, Damas-cus and Cairo ¿ photographs of society, family and friends, and Arab life in Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. These images gives an intimate insight into the cultural, everyday and political history of this region, from 1993 to as far back as 1889. Ania Dabrowska has given new meaning to Alkarssifi¿s collection and his photographic work. Her interpretation and arrange-ment of the archive with her own imagery and assembla-ges has led to a fascinating layering of the work inspired by their conversations on history, photography and personal memory.".
