“I have always photographed things in a desire to watch over them, lest they be there any more, that they disappear.”
Nadim Asfar
Nadim Asfar is a Franco-Lebanese photographer and videographer born in Beirut in 1976. He lives and works between Paris and Beirut. His first works are characterized by experimentation with the technical and experimental origins of the image. Whether by the photogram or by taking pictures of passers-by over several years from the same balcony in Beirut, the artist safeguards the traces that animated or fixed bodies leave in space. For several years, Nadim Asfar has taken landscapes as mediums and subjects. In the work “Mountain Experience” (2015-), the artist focuses on the depopulated mountainous countryside of Lebanon with the meticulousness of a land surveyor and the sensitivity of a romantic landscape painter, in an attempt to demystify a landscape both arid and fertile, long considered a national and traditional symbol in Lebanese painting. A collective exhibition in which he is invited is preparing for Stimultania. It will be visible as soon as the cultural venues reopen to the public.
