| This book is the first comprehensive publication that is dedicated to the universe of Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari, addressing the subject of desire and the depiction of the human body in photography and popular culture. For a while Zaatari has been using the world around him as the ultimate archive that allowed him lead his "excavations," while unearthing all sorts of hidden objects, documents and stories, and using them to study a multitude of situations related to image making and moderntimes. Marked in his childhood by popular Egyptian cinema, but also by filmmakers such as Bresson, Fassbinder and Pasolini and later by the documentary practice of his fellow Lebanese filmmaker Mohammed Soueid, Zaatari’swork shows special attention to the capturing of fleeting desire in daily attitudes among men, and to the study of sex practices in an Arab culture that is Lebanon. This book presents us with a rare occasion to see a documentary practice deliver the poetry of daily Life. | ||
